Mixer TA7358

I have used the FM FRONT END ic ta7358ap (LA1162 etc) in the mixer for arriving at the 7059kc in 40 meter band. During testing the old tech school VWN tx I needed one stable frequency as 7.159 MHz xtal was not available and at that time 7100-7200kc band was also not available. so this was on hand and it worked.

***
As of the 7dec2014 I have got the crystal due to a generous help from the Delhi ham friend. Hope to put the 40 meter VWN TX on this 7159kc
