You have to start somewhere

A warm welcome from me too! I like Hackers, although not my core interest, I use a Mayflower 2 as my kichen radio and a Sovereign 2 as a portable when working outside or out of earshot of a valve set. Still motorcycling, off out for a potter round on my Scott this afternoon!

As you can all see, one avatar (the inside of my Perdio) and a signature. Feeling a bit more at home now.

PerdioPal, you're not the only one who wants a PNP valve. Many years ago I started to write an April Fool spoof under the pen name "Anode Ray". Thus paying homage to the Cathode Ray columns in Wireless World. The physics was too much of a problem, even for a spoof. Both positrons and protons, the two most obvious particles, had too many problems to finesse my way round.

Welcome, PerdioPal!

And yes, I'd love a PNP valve too. Maybe those clever boffins at CERN will find a way to accelerate the right sort of particle and impact it into the right sort of target, and create KT66's and anti-KT66's in equal numbers?
