hi hi...Pat W5THT is running tubes on the 600 meter band. I recall him
saying something about his tank coil won't fit inside the amp
chassis...hi hi...
But the antennas are not too Wahoo on that band. Most are running 50'
verticals with big hats. Some are running 200-400+' transmitting
loops. There are a couple 95' or so foot verticals on the band and
those guys have the real big signals.
Anything over 50' tall works on all 3 low bands. Just as the wife
might say, 'the bigger the better'...hi hi... Nothing too crazy down
there. Just got to watch A/C resistance on connections so you don't
start fires or melt connectors...hi hi...

Imagine the tank circuit and how about the antenna!

eek, look what I started Jim...hi hi Sorry guys.
Maybe we should tell them about the Part 5 license's, might get a few
new operators down there. Imagine a kilowatt of AM on 1750 meters? hi
hi...
Well... I don't think you'd need everything that the 450TL could dish
out, but if someone is interested in using the amp, we can certainly
discuss options :-)
Contact me off-list.
Oh, and to clarify... the tube was run at half-filament voltage for
about 15 mins.. B+ was applied, slowly with a variac, just to see if it
would develop grid and plate current. it does, and isn't gassy.
