[Boatanchors] RCA Ham Tips

[Carl]

Converters and stuff seem to grow here also. I have some from the 30's 
and into the 60's, commercial and HB such as a 2M W2AZL that measures 
1.8dB NF on a HP 8970A. Not bad for a late 40's design. Even dug up a 
couple of 416B tuned line preamps for 144, 220 and 432; havent tested 
those yet. How about a 1296 parametric amp/converter built by Sam 
Harris, W1FZJ?

Some day I'll find a clean RME 45 to go with the VHF-152A and DB-22A.
