John and I created the page for the newsletter. My father machined a metal template with openings to create the borders around each image on the page. In a darkroom, John and I used an enlarger to expose each image on a sheet of photographic paper one at a time. I think we created a total of 20 pages. So this resulted in having to create 120 exposures. All the while we had to be very careful to remember which image(s) we exposed and to keep the sheets of paper in the correct orientation so none were upside down. The only light we had was one dim red bulb. There was no “un-do” option. Finally at around 3:00 AM, we were done and placed the first sheet into the developer solution. Slowly the images came into view. And they were PERFECT! In fact all of them were! Ah, Engineers are truly the best! :-)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Steve Mercanet - KC7NFX (WB6FVY)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #B5C4DF 4.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt;margin-left:3.75pt;margin-right:0in' id="MAC_OUTLOOK_ATTRIBUTION_BLOCKQUOTE"><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>On Jun 24, 2023, at 3:59 PM, <a href="mailto:wvarc-request@lists.kkn.net">wvarc-request@lists.kkn.net</a> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'></span>Send WVARC mailing list submissions to<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'> <a href="mailto:wvarc@lists.kkn.net">wvarc@lists.kkn.net</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'> <a href="https://lists.kkn.net/mailman/listinfo/wvarc">https://lists.kkn.net/mailman/listinfo/wvarc</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'> <a href="mailto:wvarc-request@lists.kkn.net">wvarc-request@lists.kkn.net</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>You can reach the person managing the list at<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'> <a href="mailto:wvarc-owner@lists.kkn.net">wvarc-owner@lists.kkn.net</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>than "Re: Contents of WVARC digest..."<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Today's Topics:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'> 1.
