Those were good books but I'll bet he didn't use a 59. They were
reprinted but also revised in some way I can't now recall--I only
remember thinking that they were no good to read anymore. Maybe in
the new version he had a plastic solid state rig instead of a DX-100.
The coils may be hard to find without buying the whole thing. I was
told it was best to get the whole thing with matching serial numbers
but that's probably almost impossible today. I was lucky and found
one with the 2.2 to 400 Mc coil set and they match the head but the
meter case is a different serial number. The manual is fantastic.
