Hi everybody,
I just wanted to give another shout out to skyscraper and vinzer. Thanks again for the "Bic tip". I aligned the radio tonight and it went great. The BC band tracks nicely across the dial. Then, I was just about to call it quits for the night and I decided to try the SW band. Not much there, but I got a big surprise at the top of the dial. All of the sudden I started hearing the beep, beep, beep of CHU out of Ottawa at 3.33MHz. I couldn't believe it. ~430 miles. Not too shabby considering I was in the basement. Can't wait to get it all back together and connected to my bigger antenna in the attic.
