[HBR] So i'm gonna build an HBR-XX

[Lorne Barber]

Ron, the article by Ted Crosby is in the April 64 issue of QST p 35. It is 
entitled "The HBR 11 to date" I may be able to have this scanned and saved 
in which case I can forward you a copy.
Nick, on the HBR 13 the L3 is closer to the front panel with the osc tube 
immediately to the right of the sheild(looking from the front) and in behind 
L3. If your chassis is already punched, then I am afraid you are forced to 
build the HBR11 unless you want to cover unused holes(ugh!). I am faced with 
a similar situation. I hope to move the osc tube top chassis, I am just 
trying to determine the most cosmetically appealing way of doing it.
BTW Ted makes the claim that the HBR 11/12 will hold its own against the 
HBR16
