[Boatanchors] Re: [Heathkit] SKN Ready with AT-1 S-40B

Good deal...will listen...only have 40m rocks here, unless an old TV
appears on the curb sometime between now and Wed.

Prepping for SKN as well. Fired up the HW-16 (with 4 pole xtal filter from
HW/SB series) last night with new 80m loop (vertical plane) only to find
it buzzing, chirping, and jumping freq. Used to quit buzzing after a half
hour or so but guess the OEM electrolytics are finally toast. Toasted
filter caps could be cause of chirp and freq jump too as the VR tube in
the HG10 only lights once in a while coincident with freq jump. Guess it's
gonna be a solder melting evening.
