David,

Thank you for the shared enthusiasm for the success of
my 833A coil.  I was able to do it for less than 200
dollars worth of parts as well, which could have been
less, if I would have been patient enough to wait for
the hamfests I'm planning on attending.  I'm good at
scrounging for parts and trading, but when I get
excited about a project, I can't help but start
spending sometimes.  It helped that Shad Henderson
gave me my two used 833A's...Shad, if you are around,
let me know.

Anyway, David, I look forward to seeing the pictures
of your vttc project.  Thanks!

-Brett
