It sounds like what we used to call 'Modulation Hum', a form of interference common on Long Wave at one time. But it's a long time ago when I last heard it,...
Hello, Chris. This Eddystone group on Yahoo works fine for me. I signed up for the daily digest which gets sent to my Yahoo email address. Then whenever it's...
Hello, group. Just thought I'd take this opportunity to mention a few little repairs I've undertaken recently with my 888A. First off was the main LO on 10...

Hello all. I need to clean / restore / repaint some rusted steel cabinets and scuffed aluminium front panels with brown (S670A) and black (S750) wrinkle...
