All this talk about the "White Face Johnson," has me thinking more about restoring the one I acquired about 5 years ago. The first thing it needs is a good bath!
Like Pete, I have an HA410, plus a 40 channel solid state converted Sharp rig, but it would be neat to convert the Messenger back to its original design frequency. I still, however, think it would be fun to put one on 15 meters since that band will wake up before 10. As someone indicated, that would take a bit more work, but probably not as much as putting one on 160. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs
