Aligned it tonight.
All bands work fine.
Now that it got dark I got some activity on most SW bands, using myself as an antenna.
Boy does that thing have 101 trimmer capacitors to adjust.....

Ron.....I got it about the TC1C and such. It says pretty much, it will go on its own into the position as the tuning cap is fully meshed, and if not then one has to help it to get there. Mine got there on its own.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
