Well a nice S-118 Mark II arrived last week - with the help of manuals
sent by a couple
of members of this list, touched up the alignment and everything is working
great. Am listening to the BBC on 6135 kc now as I type.

This rcvr is interesting as the BC band goes down to 490 kc (in order to cover
the 500 kc distress frequency) and it last covers the 185 - 410 kc
longwave band.
At 194 kc there is an arrow marked " Consolan TUK ". Anyone know
anything about 
the Consolan nagigation system - can find very little with Google but it
seems that
TUK was the Consolan station in Nantucket MA. 

73,
