Topband: Am I the only one in step?

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

I am resurrecting an aging, 'Rip VanWinkle" radio that includes 160 
meters. I was finally ready to apply power for a first test and all of 
those naughty SSB contesters on 160 meters provided me with a lot of 
test "fodder" on the receive side. I wish to thank all of the SSB 
contesters for filling the band with signals.

The receiver part of the radio is working very well now. Next I'll get 
the TX side working right and then repair the tuning dial. Move over a 
little so I can get on too.

73,
