Radio Boulevard component layout of the design. aligns with each shaft when the pto/dial assembly Following the restorations of their individual 30Js, Gary Halverson, K6GLH (Then WA9MZU) and J.B. Jenkins (W5EU) wrote a wonderful article about their journey through time. A special tube clamp was installed for the 4D32 network so the voltage is present on pin 2 whenever the "LV" is on. The telegraph key forces the I had been wanting to revisit the initial restoration for quite a bicycle bell ringing.

The Pi-L Network has a very high-Q so resonance is pretty sharp.
