[R-390] alignment assistance for an R-390A beginner

Once you get it all tuned up and running right the R390A should do better
than the R8B below about 10 or 12 MHz. From there up to roughly 22 MHz they
should run equally well. The Drake *might* do a little better above 22 MHz.
A lot depends on how well each radio is working.

    Take Care!
