I agree with Steve, seems they are trying to squeeze
us into "special segments", such as the 30 Kc. segment
Kay mentioned, only 5 Kc. of which are in the U.S. fone
band!
Great comment, and reply.

p.s. Steve, Been running what I call a T-6,
a take-off of your T-5. Single 5763 driven
with a 6C4, modulated with a pair of 6AQ5's.
A Talking Two Tube Tuna Tin Transmitter!
Puts out 6W carrier, and I finally figured
out how to load up the SB-221 to get abt
90 W. of carrier. On daily on 3.880.
