[ARC5] MW and the BC-375

[Richard Knoppow]

    Holy Moly!  I have a BC-375E, my first transmitter. I used to 
have spare tubes but am not sure if I still do. I even had a WE 
211 but it was gassy. I used the transmitter with an external 
exciter/VFO. Worked quite well, even had it on SSB with a B&W SSB 
generator. Perhaps some day I will be able to rescue it from 
storage and fire it up again.
