Just had a look on Dave Richards AA7EE wordpress site via the Soldersmoke website where he is highlighting a very nice little PTO kit from qrpbuilder.com/pto_mechanism Rather clever mechanical solution to the increasing problem in sourcing decent air spaced capacitors for VFO's

Ladies and gentleman and vastly more interesting genders: we got him. We finally caught Schrodinger's cat.

It's a sliding glass door in a kitchen and on one side there's an empty box but it is lying on its side so that it's open. Face is tipped over.

So in one of the reflections it looks like the cat is in the box and the other box is empty
