Topband: No Amidon FT140-43 Here

[lance at diac.com]

I normally do NOT like to add to the "noise" on the reflector, but want to clear this up NOW.

The PENNANT BOX sold for $39.95 (POSTAGE PAID) by Lance Johnson Engineering does NOT use and NEVER has used the Amidon FT140-43 core described by Earl K6SE.

Earl is apparently confused with some other manufacturer as this topic has been extensively discussed in various articles in the the LOW BAND MONITOR.

I agree that the Amidon FT140-43 setup was always a dog, as our initial comparative field tests indicated this.

Again, the PENNANT BOX sold by Lance Johnson Engineering does NOT use the Amidon FT140-43.
