switching tr.

[Frank Gentges]

Michael,

Good to hear from you.  I am putting the finishing touches on an article 
for the next AMRAD newsletter on modifying the new TenTec RX320 computer 
driven receiver for LF reception.  For $299 this receiver as modified is 
a real performer when used with a good LF active efield probe antenna.  
The club has a 180 watt beacon on the air with a homebuilt antenna tuner 
that uses a wire antenna similar to a 40 meter dipole.  As we work the 
bugs out there will be an article on that in the newsletter.  If you look 
at the British LF web pages you can find a lot of designs for solid state 
LF tranmitters.  Andre' Kesteloot, an AMRAD member is building an LF 
transmitter and an article is likely to follow.

I have a business in Missouri and a daughter there in St Louis going to 
Washington University.  In fact I will be heading out there tomorrow 
(Saturday) for a quick visit.  Pass your phone number as I would like a 
quick eyeball while there.
