[Boatanchors] Need Swan 350 (not C) parts

[wabate]

Mike,

Thanks for the info.  At least 38 uh has a reactance of about 1000 ohms 
at 4 mhz which is a lot better than 1 uh (about 20 ohms)! HI HI..  I'll 
have him use the 1 mh.  Maybe it was a typo on my schematic?

Still looking for S-5.

73,

Bill, K3PGB
