[Johnson] Messenger II

[Randy Perkins]

I also picked up one of these "Black Face" Johnsons several months ago 
at a local hamfest (Belton). The guy was asking $5 for it so it was hard 
to pass up. I would like to put it up on around 29 Mc for AM operation 
on 10 meters. Hopefully the band will be better in the next few years 
and can make a few low power AM contacts.
