[Heathkit] Calibrating VF-1?

[Randy Perkins]

Hi Ed, Thanks for the idea's. I will do the ground wire idea and re 
tighten all the ground and mounting screws. Thanks..
I have gotten several really good ideas and will try them all. It may 
take me a few days before I get back to working on the VF-1. All the 
ideas are most appreciated.

Thanks, Randy, W5KCM
