[Collins] Collins News

ART-13 needs:  bottom cover, speech amplifier module parts, particularly,
the input transformer and mike jack, resistors, etc.  Also would love to
find an original dynamotor for the one at the Collins Radio Center

I wonder what the effect would be if we heated a quart of wrinkle paint
before applying to a heated cabinet?  My Dad used to warm his paint on the
oven before applying.  Of course, not to point of catching fire!

The CRA is contemplating moving the Wednesday Collins net off 3805 Khz.  We
thought about starting an AM net on 3880 Khz. if we can squeeze in.
Comments?  What about an AM net on 3910 or higher?  I know!  Just what we
need is another Collins net, as if we don't have enough already!!

Remember today is the CRA Collins Net on 3805 Khz at 8 PM EST.  SSB or AM -
your preference.

The new issue of the Collins Journal, now finishing its 10th year of
continuous publication and still the only Collins magazine worldwide, will
be in the mail this week.  Great issue again and great source of current
information on Collins items, tech tips, articles, etc.

Happy Holidays
