[AMRadio] Frequencies

[Rick Brashear]

Jim,

Yes, I was having a time getting the alignment right.  I had to add or 
subtract a small capacitance in the turret modules to get the needed 
resonance on some of the bands.  Once that was correct she fell right 
into place.  I guess the years took their toll on the coils and 
capacitors.  She is steady as can be now and the ends are dead on.  The 
center is fairly close too, but due to the gigantic amount of real 
estate the capacitor has to cover it's not perfect.  However, with the 
logging scale it's possible to get right on the money after noting the 
positions.

Thanks for the tip.
