An RA17? - I hope not! (sorry, couldn't resist it)

I did my Direct Entry Radio & Receivers Course at BBC Wood Norton in 1979; my trainer (David Yates - a real nice gent ... and still around, bless 'im) took me oh-so-carefully through the Wadley Loop principle - so when the relevant exam question came up, I was able to answer it with a fair degree of success. Came in very handy at Caversham/Crowsley Park - but I can't remember it now

At the risk of stating the obvious ... please be aware that these sets are heavy (at CAV/CRP, a two-person lift was mandatory when taking one out of its rack).

I hope that Al ('Skywave') will be able to help the OP on this one (and a warm welcome, Stu )

Cheers
Guy
