[AMRadio] AMRadio Digest, Vol 116, Issue 10

[W5AMI]

Mike, I've wanted to do that for some time.  I even have the stepper motors
and controller.  I can write software to basically "autotune" this tuner
using my LP-100 interface to monitor vswr as the motors work the tuner.
One of those back of the burner projects..  I still like to twist knobs too
much I guess.  If the taps are set right on the main coil, I can tune this
manually in less than about 4 seconds...

Jim, a blower would be a nice addition for some brute force power!
