[ARC5] WX Report

[Joel R Roberts]

Now you have me drooling Mac. I am going to try and build one of the 
converters, that has been in the various articles. I just wish I could 
find the specifications on two Miller coils. They are both #B-320's one 
with the A  identifying it as the antenna coil. The other is followed by 
RF used as a mixer coil. If anyone knows anything about these Please 
enlighten me......73's     Joel KB0FPT
