    I have my ART-13 on the bench, accomplishing repairs and playing with 
the Low Frequency VFO plug in . I've been entertaining my Grandson with the 
ability to transmitt over  100 watts on 1500 Kcs in the broadcast band. 
Amazing how far you can hear a 100 watt transmitter while using a light buib 
for an antenna. ------Anyway while I am waiting for the FCC truck to pull up 
and while  I have the set open, and not wanting to reinvent the wheel, I am 
looking for a scan of the  "Electric Radio"  or "QST"  article on using the 
set on 160 meters.
    I currently can transmit as low as 1975 Kcs  but the VFO will obviously 
have to be padded for any lower operations.

    ER Magazine, December 91, page 24, Murphy , "Adding 160 meters to the 
ART-13"

    QST ,"Hints and Kinks"  in April 1973,page 6."ART-13 modification for 
160".

     I would appreciate a scan of these articles if someone has the time.
