[Hammarlund] filter cap for HQ-180C

[rcurtis1 at sbcglobal.net]

Question from a lurker who is low on expertise but high on enthusiasm, and
trying to learn as he lurks:

If the shift had not been the same on all bands, is it possible that the
filter cap could in any way have been responsible?

Best regards,
