[AMRadio] Johnson Valiant Crystal Control Question

[Bry Carling]

If the multiplying scheme for 15m on the Valiant could use 40m 
crystals X3 then there are many possibilities.

7150 will put you right on 21450 kHz and I have plenty of those 
available.  I also have several on 7140 kHz which will land you 
on about 21420 kHz. Add a little ink or pencil lead and bingo,
you easily get down to 21400 kHz which is the AM calling 
frequency.

Anyone want them?
