[Johnson] Ranger VFO help

[K6JEK]

Glen, Ed,

Thanks for the advice.   I should have mentioned that tightening all 
the ground screws and nuts I could get to was the first thing I did.   
I'd read Glen's posts about that.   I tightened one inside the VFO 
compartment, one I could access with just the side panel off.  There 
may be more.  I'll be sure to check that inside-the-VFO wafer switch.   
Plain old bad solder connections are not out the question, too.

Jon
