So am IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii............
I don't know how I missed this but I did, better late than never. I'm glad there was a follow up, I don't know why I overlooked a wonky load, the antenna. There's nothing like ceramic dog bone insulators for wire antennas, but these days they're expensive, and the stranded soft drawn 12ga bare wire I used back in the day seems to have disappeared and took ceramic open wire spreaders with it. Well not quite, I found groups of 4 at Surplus Sales of Nebraska, but enough to make a decent run of line would break the bank at Monte Carlo! I hate plastic and copperweld, but there's a chuckle in it, a goof on copper thieves. Oh yeah, I know those block type mica caps well, but I used them to repair the auxiliary loading in Johnson Valiants, Heathkit DX-100Bs and such transmitters.
