That voltage control oscellator across the swr bridge still out plays a

with 5 watts or less, I can beat a standard meter and equal the Bird.
Besides that, the feedback is instantanious.
I wish I still had my Globe Chief.  I never had more fun with any other

That was due to the magic of being on the air, rather than the radio.
By the way slop bucket doesn't own the entire phone band yet.
We still have a bit of space, take a listen around 1885 or 3885 some time.
