ow, great account! I never had much test equipment so simply tuned to a weak signal and tweaked "by ear" as best as possible. As to working on transmitters, we always joked: Tune for minimum smoke!

I started out with a pair of 1625's (807's with 12V filaments) in a military surplus xmtr I converted... That was in 1957. I wish I had it back now! Bob Wilson |
