[Boatanchors] Looking for article ........

[Jim Hill]

I looked up the article. It uses a Command receiver with a Q multiplier and 
a couple of other mods to the receiver and has a home brew phasing 
transmitter.  What do you need?

Years ago, I used a BC-946B BCB command receiver as the IF strip for a 
Morrow converter.  I added agc, a TNS noise limiter, audio gain, etc. and 
it worked great. Of course now I would never modify one.

In the early 60's Western Radio Amateur, a local magazine no longer in 
existence published a book about the size of an issue of QST called "A 
Forty Meter SSB Transceiver Built from the BC-453B Receiver". It was an 
ambitious project where the BC-453 provided most of the rig.  I built it 
for 75 meters, and got the receiver running, but not the transmitter.  A 
later issue of Western Radio Amateur said it did not transmit and receive 
on the exact same frequency, and I didn't continue.  Found the rig in the 
garage a couple of days ago when looking for something else.

Designers were Ed Marriner, w6blz and Ernie Mason, w6iqy. Wonder if they 
are still around.....
73's Jim
