Will do Peter- I am interested too. It will be done in quick fashion so
propagation changes do not enter into the mix.\
The current amp is stock Burhans with the IN/OUT transformers changed to
bifilar FT50-75 and the AM trap omitted. I have no b'cast staions for many
many miles. One of Mitch's boards will be plugged in also though, if for no
other reason than to satisfy myself that increasing the freq response of the
amp did not hurt the low end response.
