[AMRadio] Antennas for AM (was Legal limit AM amplifier, homebrew)

[Jim Wilhite]

I have heard that about the 238 but haven't experience it as of yet.  I 
hope I don't but one can never tell.  I suppose one could install 
doorknobs in the 238 if necessary, but boy it be difficult to reach 
those existing caps to replace them.

Shoot, to bad about the antenna.  I just put my L in the air this past 
week and tried it this morning and managed to get a reasonable report 
from Jeff, W9GY and Ken, K8TV.  As winter goes along it would be good to 
work you.
