[TowerTalk] Fw: AR-22 Rotor

[Larry Banks]

Hi Wilson,

I just pulled a 50 year-old AR-22 (at least I think that is what it is --
I'm not at that QTH right now and can't check) that was used by me back in
my High School days, and then by my dad (SK) for a while later.  It has been
in storage for about 20 years.  It is now on top of a 13' mast, with about
5' of mast above it, with a 3-el InnovAntenna 6M LFA. (No tower.)  Works
"OK."  Only issue is that it has to be calibrated often.  I was amazed that
it still worked at all!
