Hello Jim,

your letter arrived ! You bet, I´ll have a beer on you as soon as Germany scores again in the World Championship.

Maybe the German and the British teams share the same fate and start viewing the rest of the competitions after three group games...

Best regards, Dieter

Thanks Dieter,

Good timing. As I was typing this response, your package arrived. I suspect you will not have long to wait to enjoy that beer. I am actually an American living here in England, but from years of living in Europe (4 years in Holland, 4 years in Germany, 11 years in England), I support 4 teams: USA, Holland, England, & Germany (in that order), so when one of the teams go out, I generally have another to support. Yesterday, from my point of view, was terrible. Only the USA got something of a result (but we were robbed of a 3rd goal). So it goes...

Hello Jim,

I just spent 3 weeks in California this March/April to visit my former training bases where I served with the USAF during my flying training. It was amazing to see the lovely cities LA, SF, Sacramento, Las Vegas and San Diego again !!

But, why do I mention this: I simply love the Coors Lite Silver Bullet, the Miller Lite and much more of the American beer. I wish I had one right now...

I hope you didn´t fall for rootbeer

I have installed the new IF filter and on/off switch. Preliminary checks look good, all is working, MW, LW, SW seem more sensitive. I need to adjust the IF filters for proper performance and then check the automatic search function.

That's interesting about the beer, as I enjoy a nice German cold one, but I think that we all get so use to what we have always had that it is nice to try something different. The closer you get to where the beer is brewed the better it is.

Achim -- I love rootbeer with fries and a hamburger.

Hey, I also enjoy a good "Malzbier" from time to time - but not when I want to get caned

On my last visit to the US I loved the American beer a lot - they use to not hop their beers as much as we do here.

Achim, there is a little difference between "caned" and "canned"...

Jim, no doubt about it: an icecold Dr. Peppers, maybe two..., with a charcoal grilled tripple hamburger with double cheese and a large fries keeps me up with the good work on radios...

But don´t look at the nutrition information...

Andreas you're right - I have met people who got caned because they got canned but you can also get canned because you get caned during working hours on a regular basis.

I do not know what you are talking about - I only know Canned Heat.

Wir hatten mal in einer Englischarbeit die Antwort eines Maisfarmers auf die Frage, was er mit all dem Mais mache, diese Antwort:

"We eat what we can and what we can´t we can".

Das hat uns arme Schüler doch sehr verwirrt...

Gruß, Dieter

He'd eat what he could and what he couldn't he could ???

Hiess das nicht: "YES We Can" ?

Thanks for all your help. Here's a photo of the finished (nearly -- nothing is every really finished) product:
