Gerry-

Your last e-mail about the yellow flags was
interesting. On the seventh band switch position
clockwise, I show a red flag on band 6 (11.42 Mcs to
12.3 Mcs) and on band 7 (AM broadcast band) and
receive AM broadcast band reception well. In the
eighth position clockwise, I show a red flag in Band 7
(probably the blank band between the AM broadcast band
and LW band) with no reception or band noise. Then
when I switch to the last (ninth) position clockwise,
I show all eight bands with a yellow flag and can hear
band noise (probably LW band). Therefore my dial
string for the flags needs to be re-aligned also.
However I am not sure how many positions off it is?

Thanks to your research Gerry, I am making progress in
the right direction.
