Neal,
I don't have a web site. Maybe your thinking about James Hagerty WA1FFL
instead of me. Ask him at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
His option F covers 160:
f. 1.8-2.3 MHz (160 meters +)
Here are a few pictures of another OM's method of packaging the VFO. No
expense was spared! I love to see a truly home-brewed project. The second
link is the most informative. This is from K4VIB's QRP Website:

Jim Do you have a website up?
I run a few broadcast transmitters on 160 Meters AM.... looking for a
crystal replacement to change Frequencys On 160 meters.. any plans on a
VFO for these type Rigs?
