[Boatanchors] Tuning assembly

[Miguel Bravo]

Hi Kenneth et al,

My English seems not good enough to make jokes. What I want to say was that
if an AN/WRR-3  did not receive any 500 kcs signals in four years must be
because it was not connected to aerial receiver. Because signals there were
a lot. But even that must be read with love.

By example, I have been writting pfostenadresse to seller in Germany till
one correct me and told me that it mean the address where a
electric/telephon pole is, not the postal address (postadresse). No, nobody
sent me the GPS address of the nearest pole.

Thanks

Miguel
