[NJARC] Anybody wanna play with a radio?

[Scott Roberts]

Just so nobody worries, I am still getting signals in-
WWV comes in (weakly- that may be because of the fact
the antenna is in the attic) about 1/2" to the left of
its mark...Right now I have some CW traffic on the 15M
band. And I was listening to an interesting
conversation about kids and tattoos on 80M last night.

So I don't think I adjusted anything too far out of
whack- not that it was completely in whack in the
first place.(Is "in whack" really a proper term? What
is the opposite of "out of whack"?)
