[Boatanchors] Meissner Signal Shifter, EX 160m turret-mounted coil strip (18-3575) info

[jeremy-ca]

Interesting point about Uncle Charlie!

I have a pair of the earlier Shifters with the plug in coils and have a set 
that does cover a good part of the BCB. I wonder how many hams and non hams 
set up their own broadcasting back then!

Hmm, it would be easy to set up a Part 15 TX with just a wee bit of extra 
power.........add a modulator....and play your tunes thru all those old 
radios that will be uselss one of these days when digital completely takes 
over.
