In the medium future - towards early spring, I plan on restoring my RCA BTA-1MX to full operation and placing it on the Ham Bands - primarily on 75M. It would be nice if it were agile enough to get up to 20M even, but at least 40.
At some point 160M will be a factor, but not at my current QTH. The focus for now will definitely be on 75 Meters.
I'd be interested / grateful to know of anyone's experiences - advice - topologies - component values - gotchas - etc when I get to converting the Old Girl over for AM FONE use.
One example I've gleaned recently is the idea of insulating the Modulation Transformer from ground by mounting it up on standoffs of some kind - and I happen to have a set 'beefy' enough to do the job...
Boy, is my Valiant ever going to be jealous...! Thank'ee in advance!
