Strip down an old lamp cord and you can make a better antenna than that.

An understandable mistake that the seller corrected. No big deal.

I'll say you have other things going on. For starters, in another thread,
you mentioned that you apparently see some need to plan the overthrow of
the Govt. Unless memory fails me, that's a federal offense. You *do*
realize that there's no such thing as "gain-time" in the federal prison
system, right? 5-years in federal prison means 5-years, you can't earn
"time off for good behavior". You sure like to roll big dice, I'll allow
you that!

Ever look inside the early VHF to UHF converters? The one I had long ago
that used a 6J6 I believe. The units local oscillator changed frequency
by raising or lowering a shield around the tube. This apparently changed
the tubes elements capacitance to ground and the frequency lowered with
the raising of the shield not unlike the tuning capacitor in many
receivers.

Have you ever seen a Mallory "Inductotuner" for UHF?

No I have not but if you have a link I would like to see one.

Other things I seen done with tubes externally is with those little
acorn type tubes. I have seen them used in a way they pass signals to
one another by pointing their tips together. I can't tell you any more
than that as I had no schematic of the device, which was some kind of
military remote control box that went into aircraft.

http://www.duracap.com/inductuners/uhf600series.htm It is a compact
version of a multi gang roller inductor. There are a number of models
available, and they were used as variable TV tuners years ago. Too
bad they don't make one that is suitable for HF front end. It might
be possible to adapt the lowest VHF model to a single band, but its
still an interesting device.

lory+ind uctuner&spell=1 has a few more pages related to the
subject.

Thanks for the links.

You're welcome. If you could get the right inductance range those
would be great for a multi stage tuned trap.
