Back in the early and mid sixties I worked for WKVA 920 in 
Lewistown Pennsylvania and the station used Clarence Cheney 
for frequency measuring.  I asked him about the recieving 
setup he used and I'm pretty sure he said he used a 
Hammarlund HQ145.  Richard Johnson describes how he did it in 
another list message.  I was always amazed that he could even 
hear the station let alone measure the frequency.

Several years ago there was a lengthy discussion on this list 
on the subject.  It was very interesting.
