[MRCA] TRC-77A

Hi Gang:

My newly procured TRC-77A arrived yesterday. Two sets of xtals are on order: 3560 & 7040 kHz. I plan on adding other channels at later date. I have the -12 O&M manual and just ordered the -35 Depot level maintenance manual from W7FG. 

Does anyone have the canvas bag for the 77A? How about the antenna reels? If so, pls contact me off-line on price and shipping. 

Does anyone know of a mod for this rig to get it onto 30M? I figure that it would not be a big job to short a couple of turns on some coils on one channel to move the osc and amp stages up about 2MHz to 10.1 MHz. Just wondering if someone had already done this so I won't have to reinvent the wheel. 

Is there a regular net for these rigs where we can meet and rag chew on CW?
