Greetings All,
We'll be (joyfully!) delivering our eldest-born back to Portland, Maine
to-morrow, so that he might resume his scholastic studies there, after spending
Christmas break home here with us...
As we'll be staying in the area for a day or two, recuperating from the 12 hour
drive, I'm seriously thinking about bringing along my venerable old Heathkit
SB-301 receiver, its matching homebrewed 160-meter "up" converter, & a ball of
wire to toss out junior's second storey window...I've always been curious as to
how Top Band might sound from the Atlantic seaboard coastline lo these many
years as landlocked landlubber.
I just hope the big-gun "1"-land stations won't blow the 6EH7 RF amplifier tube
out of the converter when the band opens!
