Currently, only the members that have regularly attended Team Speak meetings have responded.

I would ask that anyone not receiving ALPB notifications to please forward your email address to be added to the ALPB ROSTER.

If you are not yet an ALPB Member and wish to join, please contact me by email at [email protected]

Thanks,

I have reworked the logo supplied and would request comments. I thought a little color would make it stand out.

RFB “Some of us actually want to go beyond the “hobby” aspect. I hope I did not join just another “hobby” organization.”

As Chairman of the ALPB I have given much thought to the above comment.

RFB “Some of us actually want to go beyond the “hobby” aspect. I hope I did not join just another “hobby” organization.”

As Chairman of the ALPB I have given much thought to the above comment.

It has become apparent that RFB has placed himself above “hobby” organizations which at this point is the nature of ALPB.

As RFB does not wish to be associated with “just another “hobby” organization” I have decided to accept his statement as a condition of disillusionment and relieve him of his ALPB affiliation. In this way, he does not have to be subject to the humiliation of addressing the ALPB directly regarding this matter.

I wish him well in his pursuit of professional lobbying and private investigation activities.

Here’s another one using just one 555 timer chip.

Looks like the output stage could use a little help.

At least this one has some circuit values.

A thread was started regarding trying pulse width modulation of an AM transmitter.

Here is a simple circuit for generating a PWM AM signal. The audio is applied at the input labled (Fm).

I’ve also seen a simple one using a couple CMOS NAND gate chips.
