[ARC5] ARC-5 Worked All States

[Mark K3MSB]

I wouldn't call that cheating;  I'd call it keeping one's sanity.

My receivers on my 274N are stock -- I have not built a Q5'er nor have I
done the mods in ER by Jeep.   20 KHz Bandwidth can be a challenge.   Using
the receivers as they are for DXCC would be tough.

I've been using a T-19 and T-22 with a BC-348Q,  and I've been thinking of
pairing up the transmitters with my an HQ-120-X that I restored last
year;  I think that would make a nice vintage DX setup -- although not
authentic.
