[ARC5] ARC-5 as VFO

[Tim]

Hi guys - in the 60's I had (still have!) a Lafayette HE-90 CB set that I
had modified for 10 meters.  Plate modulated AM and a "Green Hornet" mic,
it sounded great.  I had lashed up a retuned T-21 transmitter as a VFO.  It
worked well, very stable.  I used it on the local 10 meter RACES AM net and
worked into Europe with it from Long Island with a 4 element beam...
Learned a lot along the way....
Fun
