Hue, I too am pretty much limited to 2M, as the noise floor here in PDX is such that HF is unusable. I would love to put some of my military gear on the air but I'd have to just xmt with it and use an online SDR to receive anyone over a mile away...sigh.....

Good luck in your pursuits,

While the subject of 6 meters is close to mind, let me pose this question.

Say you had a WWII aircraft radio, something genuinely ‘rare’, which worked

44 – 50 MHz. Would it be a sin to pad down the RF circuits to tune 29 to something

MHz, so it could be worked on 10M AM ? Other facts for input: I do not care for

6 meters at all. I do not care for museum displays that are not practically workable.
I do like the idea of reliving to some extent the on-the-air experience. Not that I have

done any operating other than 2M in the past years, but that may change in the near

term. What think you ?
