[HBR] HBR 8 vs 13C : )

[bignick at execpc.com]

Hello Bill,

Here's the HBR that I built about a year ago ..

http://www.bignick.net/Morgan_Radio/Radio_8.htm

I'm not sure but I think that the chassis metal that I used was
0.080" .. I think.

It is really stiff. :-)

I
was going to build the HBR-8, but wound up building the 11 .. It just
seemed like a better idea for the amount of effort required either
way.

Hope that helps?
