Feedback - February, 2004 QST

Several readers commented on the Doctor's solution ["The Doctor is IN," Dec 2003, p 52] to feed a 3.2 W speaker from an 8 W source with a 250 or 500 W transformer. A better way to do this is to use a multi-tapped line to voice coil transformer as an autotransformer. Connect the 8 W secondary tap and the common across the audio output line and the 3.2 W tap and the common to the speaker. Let the primary "float" unconnected. A 70 V PA line to voice coil transformer works (RadioShack 32-1031).

The J. E. Richards Middle School ["ARRL in Action," Jan 2004, p 12] is actually located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.
