38-93.....so far
#30

I finally got this thing aligned.  Icon_biggrin  I had it sounding more like a busted Evinrude than a radio. And I somehow fried my $9 frequency counter in the process. But now all my locals are where they are supposed to be, nice and clear.
The only thing is the bandwidth is extremely narrow, if you just look at it wrong it will slip off of the station. I guess it needs to be tweeked but it took me so long to get it here I'm afraid to mess with it too much.
