[Swan] Cooling of thy Swan

[NA4FM (Buck)]

I, like the rest of you, would like to keep my Swan 350 as cool as
possible and it makes logical sense to put a fan over the finals.
However, it has been my experience that when the room fan is running and
it swings toward the radio, the radio drifts.  Because of that, I am
half-way afraid to add a cooling fan to the rig.  

I have an old computer muffin fan so I will try it for a while.  To see
what happens.
