[BC] Re: Copper program Loops

GOOD! Give me a good analog solution any day Bob. Digital is just not 
forgiving. I guess, by default, I'm part of your club now. :)
....and proud of it. In a post a few months ago I spoke about the station I 
put together with a friend. We had NO iron until we hit the 111-C. The chief 
at the "big" station in town wondered why we were the best sounding AM 
station in Seattle. I told him he how I setup the station and that he was an 
iron factory BUT don't worry about the 111-C. It's invisible. Amazing 
transformer.
