[BC] A good solid transmitter

[Dennis Cope]

Sorry about that Miltron, after looking through some old manuals it 
was a BC-5G.

The only thing I really hated was taking out the final tuning / 
loading coils and cleaning them.  The tuning would get real flaky 
when they got dirty.
I have a tube socket for the final (never installed) if anyone wants 
it "free to a good home" just pay shipping.  I can't toss anything 
(pack rat) but will give it away.

If you think that a cheap, flimsy(definately NOT built like a tank) 
pos like a BC-5P was a good xmtr, it is obvious that you've never saw 
a _good_ xmtr of that period.
Its predecessor, the BC-5B, was a pretty good heavy duty xmtr in its 
day, however.
Sorry 'bout that.......
