Re: [AMRadio] 18.150 ?
I thought of 160 not 17. I have never had any good contacts on 17 at home, mobile on any mode although others seem to like it for mobile use. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 10:58 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] 18.150 ?

Re: [AMRadio] 18.150 ?
Hey Paul, Your basic BC-610 will get there either with the proper crystal, or even the tuning unit TU-54. I am reasonably sure the RF Plate coil C-449B would handle it as well. It is recommended though that you have checked the neutralizing before operation, but it could be done. Same with the Millen exciter/modulator/amplifier combo, with xtal control. As for the dipole, how about a loop, not overly large, and might get better coverage in a single region.

Re: [AMRadio] 18.150 ?
Paul, Lots of BA AM rigs will accommodate a 6050 crystal and tune up just fine on 18.150 when the band selected is either 20m or 15m. Maybe Brian Carling has some of these crystals?
