FW: [CQ-Contest] Improving receiver front ends for contesting?

[Dubovsky, George]

I have copies of the original article in Communications Quarterly that
covered this subject and a supply of Microwave Associates high-power PIN
diodes that have been used by several hams for this application (I have them
in my 765). Contact me off group for additional details. Thanks...
