Topband: Beverage upgrade question

[lennart.michaelsson at telia.com]

Hi Bill et al,
A comment: My first NCC-1 went "down the drain" but got the updated NCC-2 a
few yrs back. It is even better with sharper and stable nulls and pro PC
boards which the NCC-1 did not have.
Will take a short listen now.
Hope you are all ok

I strongly agree with Frank, not necessarily because of RDF, which measures
against noise from all directions, but because of better F/R against the
usually noisy Gulf area.  In my case the NCC-1 is invaluable because you can
tune it for very high rejection of signals from the Gulf.  Unfortunately
lightning took out my NCC-1 and I haven't yet sent it to DXE for repair (no
schematics from DXE, Tim).
