Haa, I also remember getting RF'd tuning the 74, damn fat thumbs..lol
Hmm, peak noise, zero beat, tune, load, tune, load. tune..
I was taught to use an RF meter near the transmission line on that ol twin lead going up to the feedpoint. It worked, but I always thought that it meant you were tuning the xnsmission line not the antenna??
Any gurus want to set me straight?? Or was that ok to do that. You'd tune it to max field strength. I always wondered if I was tuning the antenna....or xnsmission line..
ETA: Now that those memories have emerged, maybe I'll ask the facebook SF commo page if they know. However, I'm not sure there'll be anyone old enough to know...lol
