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.
