[Boatanchors] TVI and stripping surplus military radios

[jeremy-ca]

The ham club at NAS Olathe, K0NAB,  used a 32V1 driving a BC-610 on 20-10M 
into 6 el Telrex's at 80-95'. The trailer parks at the end of the base got 
really radiated!

I dont know how efficient the amp was with the modified coils but it sure 
got great signal reports from all over the world.
