[Lowfer] RE: lowfer transmitter with EPSON Osc.

[Andy - KU4XR]

My xmtr uses an EPSON Osc. at 1.8432 MHz. I found 11 of them on 
E - Bay in 2 orders, and got them very cheap, 160 meter Xtals
are easily available there too - CHEAP !! I made up some basic
parts kits and sold all of them, Gee !! I wonder why none of 
them are showing up on the air ?? Rainy day projects I suppose.
Sean, E - Bay could be a good source for needed parts.
73, and happy hunting

LOWfer Beacon " XR " @ 184.322 KHz ( QRSS-60 )
