[ARC5] TR9D "Spitfire" Radio Contact Report

[David Stinson]

I forgot to mention awhile back that I did contact 
someone with the TR9D "Spitfire" radio.  
Mike, WA5CMI was able to get my call on 
3890 KC AM.  Power out:  Scope measured 160 mW.
Of course, running it into a Full-Wave Delta Loop 
with the top at 40 feet helps a little ;-).
P.S. Like almost all WWII Aircraf t rigs,
you must put a 75+/- pFd capacitor in series with
the antenna connection if you want to feed 50-ohms.
