[Boatanchors] Re: What VLF/LF Boatanchors are "affordable"

[Ken Kaplan]

Phil,

Just between us, have you considered a Heathkit HD-1420 VLF converter in front of 
your SP600? It converts 10-500 khz to 3510-4000 khz. No toobs but relatively 
inexpensive. You could hide it behind (or under) the SP-600. Either way, let's just keep 
this suggestion to ourselves, ok? wink-wink
