I think it should be said at this point that the 2,220,432 transverter boards
were designed by and were being produced by Steve, N2CEI, still in Frenchtown,
NJ at that point. I guess we were doing some assembly, and certainly the
"marketing".. I honestly don't remember all the arrangements. BUT, it wasn't
long after that that DEMI was born and I was "retired" hah hah..

Thanks Bill for producing the fun video and Ron thanks for circulating it. I
really enjoyed the follow up of reading Bill's QRZ bio. Fun narrative!
My wife and I got married in 1983 and by 1984 I was researching transverters
for our new home station in New Jersey.
Your DEMI single board 25W design great for 144 and 220 and so we bought them.
I will need to wander out to the shack tomorrow to get their serial numbers,
but they are fairly low.
We also have the three board 432/435 transverter, but I don't know whether
that came from Maine or from N2CEI in NJ. I know that the 903 and 1296 came
from N2CEI. All work great after all these years!
Thank you and Steve for enabling many decades of enjoyment!
73,
