Ron and Group, I tried the alligator clip with a few wraps of .050 solder and it works great. You have bailed me out again. I have put the Vari-Speed in the drawer. I enjoyed the pictures, especially the second gentleman--no relation <g>. I have one out of focus picture of me, in 1946, sitting in front of a bank of Hammerlund Super-Pros in a weather station in Greenland. Bob Baxter AA7EQ Walnut Ridge, Ar.
