I was surprised to receive e-mail that the 2nd harmonic of my 1866.5 signal
was QRMing a QSO on 3733. I know that 160 meters was added to the Alpha 76
as an afterthought when the FCC raised the 160 meter power limit just before
the Alpha 76 was released. As a result of that design decision, the loading
control works "backwards" on 160. While the schematic shows a Pi-L on 160,
that is clearly not reality. Anyone care to venture what the real-life
equivalent circuit is on 160 ?

73,
Steve, N2IC
