I hope that I don't ruffle any feathers, but I don't understand this posting. For example, what does this passage mean? magnetic lops are pretty cool. I used one for a jamboree on the air = doing psi on 20 meters and it was amazing who well it worked. tuning was = a real pain, bt once tuned it was very surmising. Or this one, actually, as i was not even sure which stations I could put the boys on = with as a third party. Best 73. Alan R.
