dx-40 on 160

[Gerald C. Lemay]

I also did a search of CQ indexes between 1967 and 1971 and didn't locate
the article I previously mentioned. The reason was simple, the title of the
article was "Convert your old Novice rig to 160". I was puzzled for a while
because I was sure I had seen the article before! It appeared in the
December 1969 issue of CQ on page 43. The author sacrificed one of the
bands for 160 meter coverage as opposed to the ER article which goes to
great lengths in adding another switch position counterclockwise from 80
meters.
