It isn't mine to part out. A friend was very excited to have found it for 50 dollars at a flea market in Shipshewana, Indiana. She knew I had some experience in repairing them, so I said ok. It would have scored me some points to get it back to her in 2 or 3 days. As it is, I'm starting to look bad.

I bought these items on Monday. I should have them by Friday.

I'll put the Heathkit online too, so between the generator, counter, and Heathkit counter, I'll have 3 opinions of my signal frequency. If they all match, hooray.

I'll zero-beat 1190 kHz (WOWO Fort Wayne) for an absolute reference. I would like to try to do the same for WWV Fort Collins Shortwave at 20.00 mHz because that's a lot nearer the frequencies I'm targeting. 20.00 doesn't come in too often around here though. 10.00 often. I think WWV also transmits some reference audio, accurate to some parts per billion. It'll be a fun "science project" late-night insomniac event.

Just glad I'm not being paid by the hour. I'd have been fired some time ago.
