I had the Remote Receiver setup up and running again last evening for about half an hour. I will probably do this for the next week or so to give all the little bits a chance to get used to electrons moving about again, and also give me an opportunity to work switches and dials mechanically. I did notice the tuning dial has a small arc of stiffness at one point, so will eventually get around to disassembling it for a cleaning. Nice that they are identical mechanically to the 19-Set ones.
I hooked the receiver up to my dipole last night as well and was able to find WWV in Ft. Collins quite easily at 5.00Kc. The signal drifted in and out quite a bit and there was a lot of crud jumping all over it, but it was there. Some of that crud may, in fact, be some weak tubes in the set, but HF propagation recently has been quite bad as well.
