[IRCA] 12 Nov TA's in Seattle

["Dave Korinek" <astroguydave@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, 
The DX shack here in Edmonds, or thereabouts, is finally operating
smooth and reasonably quiet, thanks to the heavy use of those amidon
FT-140A-J ferrite chokes.  Primary antenna is an 8-direction K9AY.  Fed
into an W8ZR receiver Multicontroller.  This allows good isolation so that 
I can use any or all of the two R71A's, SPR4, FRG7, R75, or IC765.  Nice.
I still need to recap and AGC mod the two Collins R388's tho.
Sitting on 940 right now, haven't hrd a trace of WFAW test yet.
