[Hammarlund] Wanted: HQ-100A improvements

[Edward B Richards]

Hi gang;

This may have been covered recently. If so, please forgive me. I was not
interested at the time. Now, I have a HQ-101A coming and I see the
sensitivity is rated at 1.75 uv. This is probably fine for the lower
frequencies where the noise level is high. However, it seems to me that a
better sensitivity would be useful on the higher frequencies. Is there a
simple way to improve the sensitivity by a different RF amplifier tube
and change a few resistors?  

Also, I see the antenna impedance is 100 ohms. What is the best way to
match this to 50 ohms?

Thanks a bunch.
