Ah, yes! There was activity on 40 meters 24/7, despite Radio Moscow, Voice of America, BBC, etc. While my old Viking Ranger has long since gone to who knows where, I still have most of my Novice crystals, including my two favorite frequencies, 71.75, and 71.95. I also still have the HQ110-A/V

Thanks Mark My instincts told me that there had to be something available out there, either Drake, Heath or some commerical piece. I assume you are using the Drake PS for the TR series? Cheers Ron > From: Mark Foltarz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2005/02/23 Wed PM 08:02:06 EST > To: Discussio

Joe - I just dug out my musty old 1973 ARRL Handbook, and on page 14 it shows the Novice band on 7100 to 7150. So that narrows it down to either late '72 or '73 that it was changed. Seems like it was later than that, but time flies - hi hi! It's fun to do a little amateur radio research now and
