Re: Antennas and Ice!

Re: Frequency adjustment on a simple cw transmitter
Jim,
The lower frequency is typical of the Rock-mights too.
In most circuits with parallel resonant crystals, a series capacitor/trimmer will raise the frequency. An inductor in series will lower

40M is stretched out already. I just heard AB6X in Idaho on 7122 with a 579

Back to the bench, Winter's too valuable to waste.
I love this radio stuff
