My thinking is that if a signal of a certain strength at 8 or 9 MHZ can be received in the antenna on band B then a 14 MHZ signal at the same strength should be received on band C (with some variation). If not, then the antenna circuit isn't doing the job. Of course, you probably already know that but it might verify that you're on the right track. I have always figured that antenna transformer design is a science and some radio designers are not scientists. Keep searching. Rod
