Looks like what I'm after is the BC-610 PA output coils. I believe these came in sets between 2-18 MHz. So, probably 3 or 4 coil sets in total, but I'm good for 160m. Here's a link to the photo of the homebrew link tuner with the 160m coil (obviously, not from a BC-610). http://216.229.20.37/images/BW-5.jpg http://216.229.20.37/images/BW-6.jpg If anyone has any BC-610 PA coils that are surplus to their needs, please let me know.

I was trying to get mold out of a radio, and didn't have much luck. Maybe it works well on paper. The blue box says "PARA" in large letters. Just seal some balls in each envelope with the book. Google has lots of info on para, including the fact that it is a suspected carcinogen. Winter in Minnesota can reach 20 below, which seems to kill mold. I'd be willing to expose what you ship and return them, if you can't find something better. Kills all forms of cockroach, too.

You might search the archives for around the first of this year on the topic of killing mildew, which is actually what is causing the smell and doing the damage to the scrapbooks. My suggestion involved the use of paradichlorobenzene (para moth flakes), which is fairly nasty to be exposed to. Of course, mildew is difficult to kill so you have to use something strong. If you have plenty of time, seal the scrapbooks in polyethylene garbage bags with a generous handful of para. The para might attack plastic (vinyl) simulated-leather, photographs, etc. if it is in direct contact with them, so wrap the para in a small cloth rag before placing in the garbage bag. Pack the bags in a cardboard box and leave them a few months in the basement. To make things work a little faster, place the bags in bright sunlight for a few days. This will evaporate the para and distribute it faster. You will still have to wait several weeks for the para to fully penetrate the books and kill the mildew even if you use this technique. After removing the books, let them air out a few days before they are handled. Avoid breathing the para fumes as much as possible. If you are in a hurry, dig out my previous post but remember that the solution you will be spraying is very flammable and toxic.

You don't have to cause an ecological disaster to save your books from mold. First get the book pages nice and dry by setting the books where you can get fresh lowest possible humidity air circulating around them. If you put them outside keep them in the shade to prevent light and UV damage. After the books are good and dry, using a brush attachment, vacuum pages free of loose mold dust as much as possible. Wear a dust mask to avoid inhaling mold spores. Empty the vacuum cleaner bag carefully into a plastic bag, seal and discard in the garbage. Wash a reusable vacuum cleaner bag in detergent and bleach solution. Keeping the books in a well ventilated low humidity environment will ultimately finish off any live spores. Millions of fungi live in our daily lives so don't think it won't happen again. Keep your books dry. Thankyou, Google.

(Store variety is only 3%) Check with the phone book for a company that advertises "demolding" or mold removal in houses That is the ingredient they use and it works fantastically on wood, but as it isn't effective on drywall. However, it might be worth a long shot try. When you get above 30% my understanding is that DHS is watching very carefully. The other thought is to get hold of of an ozone machine. In any case, I have not tried either personally. 73's dave David Stinson wrote: > The roof leaked.

You'd be surprised how many Ten = Techies actually operated BC-610's diring or after WW2. =20 The question has come up about who besides Hallicrafters may have built = the BC-610. I'm sure that B&W did not. They made the antenna tuner, = but not the transmitter. Does anyone in this august group know?

He and his new wife showed up at the "new location" Shelby hamfest and found the Boatanchor Guys who stick together there. (or at least share tailgating spaces.) Nick England posted a blurb about him then, on this list. He was happy, healthy and looking the best we've seen him in several yrs, tho' I didn't recognise him without his beard. He said he has been monitoring the list some, and hoped to become more active again. I think he's made a post or 2 since, but not many. Barry, if you're lurking, we hope to see you again this coming Sat. AM. JP, Tom B, & Rich B were to be there getting spaces today, tho' they haven't yet been heard from. I think the land rush was at 3PM, so they're probably not home yet. 73, Al, W8UT New Bern, NC www.boatanchors.org www.hammarlund.info "there is nothing -absolutely nothing- half as much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
