Hello Wayne!

        This is also worth asking for comments on.  Here
is a test case, though.  It is a simple Pi-network antenna tuner for MF/HF 
receiving applications.  Still a bit crude, but better than straight ascii 
characters. Also I would very much like to hear comments from all readers one 
way or the other in regard to using hi-bit ascii for purposes of diagramming 
things.  I am not in any manner advocating their use for cosmetic signatures, 
etc.

      NOTE:  L1 will vary in size depending on frequency range desired.
      NOTE:  Voltage rating of components is not critical for receiving
             applications.
      NOTE:  Connectors should be good quality coax connectors.
      NOTE:  Use a good earth ground, not water pipes.
      NOTE:  Tuner should be constructed in a shielded housing.
      NOTE:  1 Meg resistor is for static discharge.
      NOTE:  Back to back 1N914 diodes protect against strong local
             signals such as a transmitter in close proximity.
