The following corrections need to be made to "The Ten-Tec 6 Meter Transverter on 12 or 17 Meters" [June 2004, Table 1, page 41]. Change the following parts values: C8, 12 meters--1500 pF; add C10, C11--150 [100] pF; change C15, 12 meters--100 pF; C16, 12 meters--100 pF; C40, 17 meters--[100] pF; L7, 12 meters--0.68 pF. The part number for L15, 17 meters, should be [M8033-ND]. In addition, L3 is no longer available as a Toko part. It is now wound on an L43-2 Amidon core and Reference 1 should now read: "Wind 25T [19T] close spaced 36 gauge enameled wire on an Amidon L43-2 form. Use a drop of Q-Dope to secure the winding. Cut off the three pins not used." The schematic diagram [Figure 1, pages 42-43] should be likewise corrected.

In Figure 13, page 38, and the text on page 39 of "A 75 foot Top Loaded Vertical Antenna" [June 2004] the 3.51 MHz impedance should read 64.7 + j76.6 ©. The 765 pF capacitor should be shown at the right edge of the 3.2 µH inductor.

In Figure 5 (schematic), page 30, of "Give That Drake Receiver a New Lease on Life" [June 2004] U2 should have its "+" and "-" symbols reversed. The pinout is correct, however. In the parts list on page 32, relay K1 is manufactured by Omron, not Orion.
