[AMRadio] Collins 32V1 diagram needed...

[Vince Werber]

Yes, mine has the loading on the outside...

The major problem I have had with the rig is that it seems to
have a parasitic at some tunings... it's always had that...  Tim
noticed it when he was here years ago... I had Les (W1FAT)sk
look at it and he couldn't figure it out either...

Now the simalcast thing sounds interesting.... hmmmmmmm  Got to
think on that of 80)  I've seen ssb do that because of the
mixing but ... now ya got me thinking.... rattts the room is
filling with 'wood' smoke... 80)

Hey!  I just had an Idea... I have a discontinued underground
telephone cable in my lawn... The telephone super told me to did
it up if I wanted to but... I just realized it is almost a
perfect dipole...  500 feet overall... sound interesting...

Think tomorrow I'll run a coax out the window for the fun of
it...
