[Milsurplus] Rectifier Module, ahoy!

[holden]

Jim, you forgot our QSO on 40M at 0046Z, I was using my ORIGINAL novice BC-348Q, and a BC458A. Didnt hear Marty at all.

Good to work you on three bands.

The CBY is the Navy equivalent of the BC457 and it has a 1940 contract date that made it valuable for the AWA contest when they were stopping before WW2.  I also listened on Command Set receivers, a BC455 for 40 and a BC454 for 80.  I have a BC453 Q-5er backing up both the BC454 and BC455 as a second (actually third) IF, that makes both selectivity and tuning a lot easier.
