Thank you for the suggestion, Frank. 

I have already had published in Electric Radio Magazine several articles on the "ARC-5" 
(generic term) receivers, the latest in the most recent issue of ER Mag.

I'll modify and extend one of those which addressed using the BC-453 or R-23(*)/ARC-5 at 
MF and will submit it to AWA for possible review as soon as I can. I am a member of AWA.

vy 73 for now,
