[TenTec] Argo 30 meter conversion - Century 22 17m !

[G4PUQ at aol.com]

       Going back to 1998 I enjoyed a simple modification project!

       I modified a Century 22 for 17m & 12m. Nothing elaborate just replaced 
the xtals, made an educated guess regarding the value of a few components and 
tweaked the relevant inductor cores. 

       Results on 17m were quite surprising, TA3BN first qso whilst testing 
and JA1OBN a couple of weeks later following a bit more work ( Its nice to look 
over old logbooks :-)

12m was very unstable and I didn't pursue the modification any further. I did 
think about 160m but I didn't think final PA would work on the band. has 
anyone tried something a little bit more precise than my hit and miss approach?
