Numbers look good. Reactance is low across the band. Good choice on the Moxon,very underrated antenna

I bought a FTDX3000 about a year ago,sold off my TS-570SG & TS-480 to finance the purchase. Even though I have one of the latest radios I still rely on a AL-80B & a Palstar 1500DT tuner. The newer solid state amps are convenient, ditto the auto tuners but the amps won't tolerate even a...

Nice find, had one back in the 70's. I doubt if it was in a fire. Possibly stored in a humid environment or owner was a heavy smoker. I have seen other older radios where the chassis just patinas as it is bare carbon steel, not plated alloys like newer rigs.

Moody Blues, excellent group. Saw them in Madison Square Garden in the 80's

Emerson, Lake & Palmer something from the early years.

Depends on the angle the signal arrives. Low angle - a ground mounted will rec. it better than one in the nose bleed section. also low antenna works good for nvis if both stations have one.

As Hannibal Smith used to say-"I love it when a plan comes together"

Go to Heilsound.com website & click on Amateur sub heading. There is a folder I think is labeled data & in there are wiring for mics broken down by manufacturer Kenwood, Yaesu, Icom each have their own section.

Yes but all the other models use sweep tubes.
