So Ive been told. Its hard to imagine but in 51 years as a ham Ive never 
seen an ART-13 in operation. If this is a virgin Im not sure what approach 
to take.

They werent mentioned.

Thanks. Ive some thoughts about getting on 500 Kc with the next round of FCC 
approvals.

Ive a few here that can handle the power.

The schematic will be a big help, what Ive found on line so far is mighty 
poor.

All I have up at the moment for the Viking I is a 75M sloper off a tower. My 
other antennas are still all wired into the regular station in the basement. 
All this snow caught me unprepared.
