[ARC5] Backwave

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

My own thoughts on moving the VFO off from your operating frequency is 
that you would be moving onto somebody else's frequency and causing QRM. 
If it's enough of a problem that somebody else complained about your 
backwave then it's serious enough to not push it onto yet somebody else.

I like (and use) grid blocking. It can be managed by transistors - 
easily done and easily reversed to restore museum quality.

No modern post WWII stuff works that way, so it was "new to me" in that sense, just like backwaves. This group has been an education for me.
