You lucky guy. The only camp ground I live and work at is our retirement home on a nice lake. ?I am 78 and my wife is 71 and our handy man petered out on us this year so we are doing ourselves all the lawn maintenance and putting the boats, etc., in for the grands that don¡¯t come very often. ?Hope to get out in the yard soon and do some portable work as all this raking and hauling is making us both ?achey and tired before our time¡.. ha!
?Very little noise at out QTH since the AM radio business is less profitable and the AM radio station across the lake sold their property and took down their 4 tower directional antenna on 1310 (3 x 1310 is 3930 kHz). ?1330 kHz is a great frequency for statewide nets that I participate in occasionally.
I have often thought of offering my handyman services to a camp ground in the winter but it has never happened. ?My wife keeps me busy enough. ?Fifty years together. She got a new ring and I got a wad of money for Dayton¡. Fair trade in this household and I don¡¯t wear jewelry.?

Dan,
Rex sent me the layout view and where the breaks are. My jumper connected the circuit back together, but Rex suggested adding one or two more just to emulate the original plane interconnections. I just started building the Sudden Storm receiver so I will compare the performance with each other when the weather warms up a bit and I can get to the national forest away from all of these Fluorescent antennas in this large RV park. Right now the sounds I hear are more like a regenerative receiver if the volume control is higher than minimum, so when I can get out to the USFS away from the powerlines I will bring my Penntek TR-35 to send a mw signal or two for comparison. Once satisfied, then I can start on the two Super Tuna ][+ TXs I have ready to assemble. My XYL is a ham and has been more than generous with allowing me to take up the desk workstation in the RV for my soldering projects since she is the manager of the local 13 USFS campgrounds in this district and needs a lot of computer time herself.
Cheers,
Davey - KU9L

Davey,
Time to start tracing the circuit from the PCB and signal tracing.?
Have fun!
