[Boatanchors] Coil I.D.

[Glen Zook]

The coil was made by B&W for 40 meter transmitter use.
 They were called "junior coils" and were rated at 75
watts maximum input.  There were 3 different series of
the "J" coils.  The number is the band and then JCL
stood for "center link", JEL stood for "end link", and
JVL stood for "variable center link".

B&W was manufacturing these coils before World War II.

I checked their adverstisment in my 1941 ARRL Amateur
Radio Operator's Handbook just to be sure on the
power!

Coil has stamped on it 40 JCL.  I'm sure it was from a
transmitter or receiver for 40 meters .. most likely a
transmitter.  On ceramic count with 5 pins for
plugging in. About three inches long and maybe two
inches in diameter, roughly 15 turns maybe with a
three turn link.
