[Milsurplus] BC1206 LF RX

[Dave Brown]

Hey, that's great!
Thanks Al. I was starting to get worried I was losing it, so I 'll sleep
easy tonight!  Was quite convinced when the subject came up a week or so
back that I wasn't thinking of something else, but after getting  told by
several others the output was a single 28D7, I was getting just a bit
concerned!
Have to admit to pulling it apart after a few years of use though (this WAS
40 years ago!) to put the brilliant wee tuning cap in another project. That
built in reduction drive and dial pointer was quite clever.
73,
Dave, ZL3FJ
