Topband: Suggested Frequency

[K9FD]

When I purchased this property in Hawaii,  there were two 830kc towers 
left from the
KAIM 50KW station.   I made a matching network and loaded up for the 
Stew perry,
only had my exciter so ran low power,  if I remember correct I was 
number 1 low
power world wide..  but my memory is corrupted so would have to look it up.
Tower radiated very well and I only had it to receive on as well.
Location Im sure is part of it,  but I remember at the time all advice 
was against even
trying.
Worked for me.
I gave the feed point info for 830KC to a top band guru and he gave me 
the L and C
needed for 160,  his figures were dead on the money.  Did not even need 
to tune it.
