[50mhz] AM on 6

[Jim Isbell]

Its a fixed crystal converter and spreads the first megacycle of the 6 
meter band across the 600 to 1600 Kc bandwidth of a standard AM radio so 
I just tune the AM dial to locate stations.  In the early 60s I worked 
most of the country form my 12 watt mobile rig.  I was able to work 
coast to coast from a moutain top near Montrose Colorado on one opening.
