[ARC5] ARC-5 Worked All States

[Dennis]

Mark,

Mix and match of vintage gear is OK by me.  Do it all the time.

Another reason for pairing with the R4-B was to enable contesting.  One year I won my section in SS despite being limited to only 40M and running well under the 150W category limit.  Apparently not much competition that year😏

For help in busting a pileup I would occasionally defeat the voltage reg to induce a little chirp :-)   The trick would usually work.
