W5OMR (Bigfoot) has been running 75M.A.M. mobile for years
down here in TX.
Sent me some pics of his present mobile rig, a Johnson
Viking II hooked to a honkin' inverter in his Ford F150
truck.
Goeff is a hotshot driver, so most of his radio time
is mobile.
I listen for him
Brian,
If you're space or hieght limited, put up a full-wave 80 Meter
Loop(65 to 70 feet on each leg if square), and feed with window
line(one inch Twinlead) or open wire(ladder -line).Mine's up 33'.
Loads up fine with my MFJ tuner on all bands from 80 up through
6 meters. This is
John,
How much for the kit?
Sounds perfect for a project of mine.
Pse e-mail, good on QRZ.com.

Talk with Jim (WD5JKO), I think he has used a
Crown P.A. amplifier as a cathode modulator,
maybe an SB-200 as the final?
Unless you're stuck with 13.8 VDC, I would
look for something in the commercial P.A.
type amps.(Guitar Center,Musician's Friend,
pawn shops,etc.)
I have a 45 year old Fender
I am a nearly no code Extra, no code Tech. 6/12/01 with
C.S.C.E. for Gen. theory. Learned the code (5WPM) and upgraded
three weeks later, Extra 6 mo. after that.
Work enough CW to have 175 DXCC CW, but don't ragchew.
My take is, any young solder sniffer worth his snuff these
no,yes,

Don't know enough about the 5000's receiver, but a couple years
ago, I talked with W5GI on 3.880 as he was shaking out the prototype.
None the old buzzards, nor I, could tell it from a plate-modulated
rig. I've heard several on the air since, and they seem to have pretty
decent transmit

I agree with Steve, seems they are trying to squeeze
us into special segments, such as the 30 Kc. segment
Kay mentioned, only 5 Kc. of which are in the U.S. fone
band!
Great comment, and reply.

a

for this purpose, any experience??

Larry,
The 80 RPM records were made for the Edison players, which
used a real diamond stylus. They are ruined by playing on
a Victor or other player with a steel needle.
One of my Edison records was recorded by Thomas himself,
a plea for War Bonds during WW1.
Please save the

And I thought the old Wilcox amp I have,
pair of 813's, was overkill!
Are they going to run up the price of the
20V3's just for the audio and mod deck?
Who winds the output transformers?
This looks like fun, aside from homebrew
AM rigs, I also homebrew guitar amps. HI
Went down and encouraged them, they listen
to 3880 and 3890, and were tuning up the
riceboxes and amps for AM.
Told them riceboxes are welcome(some of
them are hard to tell from plate-modulated
boatanchors) HI.

Mike and Don,
I am a relay and N.C.S. in the Pacific Maritime Mobile
Service Net. We meet 365.25 days a year from 22:00 to
24:00Z on 21.412.
Being there nearly daily for eight years, I have found
the band open most days, but prop. can be very spotty.
The last six weeks or so
All,
Search for instrument speakers as found in guitar,
etc. amplifiers. My vintage vacuum tube guitar, bass,
and keyboard amps love a 4X cabinet with 10's or 12's,
but I run JBL studio monitors on the Fender PA 100( 4

Dont know the exact response curve, but they
Eddy,
As a long-time re-modeling contractor in South Texas,
I've seen silicone fail as a sealant more times than it
was successful!
Silicone makes a great gasket if firmly sandwiched between
solid surfaces,but in the extreme heat and humidity here,
it loses adhesion, and wicks
Pete,
Radio Daze (www.radiodaze.com) lists 575A's for
$85 each.
Hope this helps.

Bob and Bob,
Just got off the ARRL website, the band from 145.500 to
145.800 is listed as misc. and experimental modes.
Seem AM would fit in here? Hmm, a pair of 6146's mod.
by a pair?? Sounds fun!!
Speaking of 2 meters, last weekend I built up a balanced-

Mike,
Will do! I've been working 3's,4's,and ,8's in the mornings,
then 7's and 6's in the afternoon on 50 Mc. SSB CW.
I always go up to 50.400 and put out a few calls on AM,but
QSO's are rare.
Never tried 29.0 Mc., but will start this morning.
