Dale: Wow, small world! Yea I think that is the one I'm working on. I
think
you also had a DC-DC converter to bring the voltage to the varicaps up.
Very nice enclosure for the oscillator. I now have it percolating nicely
as a VXO around 23 Mhz (for the 17 meter band). Bill

That's it Bill! Amazing. Hopefully I placed the Dc-DC converter inside that
shielded enclosure. Glad it has a good home.
I believe that board was from A&A Engineering- seem to recall they supplied
for QST back then. That design was a very robust RX. Doug (?) had sent me
the companion TX article before release- but I never got around to building
it.
How many countries has that RX travelled to now?

Dale: I can't remember when it was that I bought it from you. So,
depending on the date, it could have spent time in the Dominican
Republic, Northern Virginia, the Azores Islands of Portugal, and the UK.

BTW, I always admired the neat construction of that RX. The hookup wire
used was very nice. Do you remember what kind of wire you were using.
I'd like to get some of that. Makes a big difference in the appearance
of the final product.
