   Jim, After watching this video, I fired up the sig. gen., set it up for
   unmodulated 460Kc, coiled a loop around the second I.F. can, then dialed
   around the police band in search of some SSB action. I was able to catch
   the last minute or so of a conversation…just enough time to fiddle around
   with the sig. gen. until I could clearly hear the conversation. They were
   the only Hams I could tune in this morning. Later on I’ll do it again and
   make a video. Thanks, my friend. Regards, John

   @wa4aos Great story Genn, Over 45 years been enjoying doing something with
   radios. I learned more about them when I started building heathkits radios.
   Oh you have a nice shack by the way on QRZ.com… 73’s Jim

   He tuned around and found the same Donald duck noise and had a large
   audience present and convinced they were all listening to the astronauts.
   It took only a few minutes to figure which coil was needed for injection
   and then the conversations were understandable. The QSO’s were interesting
   but discussion of radios, antennas and regular Ham stuff was not what
   everyone was hoping for. He never brought the SW radio back but he and I
   became friends and soon had our Novice licenses. We both won!

   @joernone John you should be able to inject the signal and just tune the
   main (VFO) dial on the radio. It not the best method but works Jim

    Back in the 60’s when I was in Junior High, a fellow class mate brought a
    SW receiver to school convinced he was listening to astronauts from the
    Gemini program,. He manage to get the most of the school, students and
    staff convinced he had the real thing. WHen I told him and others he was
    listening to Ham op’s I was scoffed at. I asked him to bring his radio back
    the next day and I would prove him to be wrong; he agreed. Next day, he had
    his radio and I had a grid dip meter for injection.
