[ARC5] ARC5 To ARC5 QSO

[Jim Falls]

Love it! I used to call a local weekly net using a Swan 350 (after 2 hr warm up) and I'd set the freq with my BC-221. 

Someone once said I was 50 Hz  too high (this was before I calibrated the 221). I almost came back with an FCC-actionable comment. However, an anonymous someone beat me: "Hey: Net Control is always On Frequency. Turn the knob, pal."

Cheers!
