[SixClub] Ameco Converters

[Bob Royal]

I guess at some time in it's life it worked right but not since I have 
owned it.
Been using it with the 39.000mc xtal that came with it and did'nt think 
it had been changed.
The tubes checked out good.
The DX160 works fine. I use it SWL and LW all the time.
I can spot my own signal at 60w on the receiver with it but thats 
all.... I had a guy fire a 100w at me from a mile away one time and 
did'nt hear a thing.
That was after I did some adjusting and brought the receive up from 
useless to not as weak but still useless.....
Guess I have some more fooling around to do with it as time permits.
