[R-390] Below 8mhz problem

[Scott, Barry (Clyde B)]

American Trans-Coil <http://www.atc-us.com/ATCSHOP/> shows antenna relays on their website.  I think they have a minimum order, though.  I think Fair Radio <http://www.fairradio.com/r390a1.htm> would have them, but I think they have a minimum order as well.

Perhaps someone on the list has some spares...

Good luck,
