Hi Phil, love that story about the guy working the VE! Does anyone
remember the old days on 2 or 6 meter A M, whare you would basically do
the same thing? You migh have a crystal for 145.350 but people would
call you as low as 145.00 or up on 145.620. Of course, if you had a
Heath Kit twoer, you didn't have to tune at all, since the super regenn
receiver was about 1 MHz wide! GRIN! Back in those days, I used to work
repeaters, buy using a Heath Kit signal generator as a VFO at 8 MHz and
modulate it from the external audio input to get fm with a Heath Kit
Lunchbox! GRIN! For the newbees, that was another name for the sixer or
twoer! They even mad a tener, for ten meters! They put out a whole
couple of watts, with a 12AX7 for a final, if I recall! GRIN! I guess I
had better go look for an old timers net! GRIN!
