How did you tune it for min reflected?  Does it have the matching 
network?  My AM-1a's are all barefoot, therefore untunable.

AM-1a's are a great little box!  I think they were bred by the 
Energizer Bunny ;-)

Thanks, but I think that Oregon is a bit out of your way.

FWIW, this thread started out academic wondering why things were as 
they were.  The station is working fine now for several years after I 
cleaned it up.  I was just looking to increase my knowledge base and 
can't think of a better place than here.

Thanks for everybody's input!
