[Johnson] Viking II on WARC bands?

[Carl]

I think Eddie means the V-II CDC version which is what I use with a modified 
HG-10 VFO. Since the output has a roller inductor the standard V-II will 
tune WARC but the issue is with the earlier stages and the CDC has more BS 
positions.  Getting a suitable crystal and trying would be the easiest 
solution and crystals in the 6 mc range are almost free. Use X3 and X2 for 
17 and 12M and 5mc rocks for 30M. Id suspect the 11M position is fine for 
12M.
