 Charlie Cotterman has made an unusual and generous prize offer.

In keeping with the spirit of the David Letterman Scholarship, which he awards to students who get straight C’s, and with the Navy Academy that has a special award for the graduate with the LOWEST grade point average. (Coming in dead last, but still graduating, has GOT to be at least a tough as coming in first.) Charlie has offered up a prize in each category for the entry that places most AVERAGE. After the points are tallied the judges will review them and pick the score in each class and category that is considered the most average. The lucky entrant will then get to pick five MRL booklets from the following list.

Each of the prizes consist of any FIVE of the following Modern Radio Labs books:

HB-1 Headphones: Operation and Repair

HB-5 Crystal Set Construction

HB-6 How To Make Coils

HB-10 Facts For Crystal Experimenters

HB-17 MRL 20 Crystal Set Circuits

HB-25 MRL 18 Crystal Set Circuits

Just cross off the one you DON’T want.

For the 18 and younger winner (er I mean AVERAGE guy) in addition, to a choice from the above list of booklets, Charlie is offering a set of MRL prints that he has been holding on to for a long time. (He says they are in “semi-mint” shape.) These are:

DP21 10 Tested Crystal Set Circuits

DP25 The Flextal Crystal Set

DP33 MRL Pocket Radios #7 - 19 - 32

DP43 MRL #26 Single-Dial All-Wave Crystal Set

DP47 MRL #28 All-Wave Plug-In Coil Crystal Set

DP69 MRL #12 Improved Slider Crystal Set

Of course if you are the ONLY entry in a particular category you are also the most average. I am holding the order forms and the check to MRL so it all ready to go. Thanks Charlie.
