[NJARC] Amateur Radio License

[JOE CRO]

Hello Scott,
                 See me at the meeting on Friday night. I, and others in 
attendance should be able to answer most if not all of your questions.

BTW, You can operate a BC-375 in any of the Amateur bands, but they work 
best on 160M (1st) and 75M (secondly). Being a "MOPA"; theyre a bit 
squirrely on the higher bands, though you can operate one on 40M. The trick 
is to load 'em heavily from the tuning units to get them into class C with 
some stability.

Regards,
             Joe Cro N3IBX
