For those of you who get the Elecraft Newsletter via e-mail; don't pass by the February edition. I know that sometimes we get so many e-mails in our inboxes that we tend to pass on these, every now and then. Thanks to W3BBO, this time I didn't - and you shouldn't either. There's a great short story in there by W.A. Taylor, titled "Major Sheldon's Last Watt."
It's a fun read and very well written. I wish I could spin a yarn like Mr. Taylor.
I'd love to post a link to it here; but it's copyrighted and I'm sure Elecraft used it with permission, and I want to respect that. If you're not on the Elecraft mailing list; hopefully you have a QRP friend or Elecraft user friend who can show you the story.
Who knows? If someone from Elecraft reads this and feels that it's not problematic - they can always feel free to post the link in the comments section!
UPDATE: I got permission from Wayne NK6R to post the link to the story. It appears that Mr. Taylor gave unlimited distribution rights - so here it is!

Nice story!

I'm looking for this book, but I may be too late -- that link doesn't work anymore. Any idea where it might be?
