[AMRadio] Another AM'er Returns...

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi Brett,

Many thanks for the welcome back...!

I hope to make my first AM QSO with that rig (the first in several years) later to-day...it's been so long since I had that rascal fired-up that I had to read the manual to re-acquaint myself with the tune-up procedure...! 

For a look-see at the HB receiver, just go to:

Hope to work you sometime soon...
