[Amps] SB-221 input network should have read SB-201/SB-200 input network....etc

[carl seyresdahl]

Mike and all: I just remembered I have an SB201 i;ve been working on, Just
that i haven't looked at it for so long, since i've been working on some
other amps for other people.
The 40 mtr. coil has 17 turns of the same size wire as the 80 mtr. coil.
which looks like about 22 ga... !!  , and no I don't want your ten dollars..
!! donate it to charity or buy another six pack or whatever. Hi.! Hi. !
