[amsat-bb] Re: Drake xtal from ICM

["Mark D. Fossum" <n0nsv@xxxxxxxxx>]

My crystals arrived today. (mmmm... fresh crystals!) 

ICM provided me with 11 crystals Part #540288 and they have the exact
same size case as the original Drake crystal. I can't tell you about
wire spacing since I haven't pulled my old one out yet. 

73,
