I will gladly take mine to Dayton if anyone might be serious about it. Can't mail it. It would set off too many alarms. 73 Bill wa4lav From: Fuqua, Bill L Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 10:33 PM To: q...@kd4e.com; BoatAnchors Cc: Ham MacGuyver Subject

If you can hear additional background noise when you connect the antenna, then probably no unless you have a problem with image rejection. 73 Bill wa4lav From: Boatanchors [boatanchors-boun...@puck.nether.net] on behalf of q...@kd4e.com [q...@kd4e.com]

Re: [Boatanchors] [ARC5] Unusual BC-221

Now, I have a question. There is an experiment I always wanted to try if I ever found a still boxed Bc221 or LM. Is it still accurate? Can you check it WWV perhaps or a well calibrated crystal calibrator to see if it still agrees with the book? First, how close is the crystal calibrator before

You have to understand that HC49S crystals can't handle the power that FT-243 crystals can. They are more fragile than the larger ones. Be careful when using them in vacuum tube applications. Heating may not fracture them but may cause chirp and drift. 73 Bill wa4lav

[Boatanchors] General Electronics TN-75 transmitter

2018-04-29 Thread Fuqua, Bill L
My first novice rig was a General Electronics TN-75 transmitter and a HQ-129X receiver. The TN-75 had a 6CL6 crystal oscillator and a 807 final, with a 5U4 rectifier. It only had two bands, 80 and 40 meters, but I only had a 40 meter plug in coil. It would be nice to have one again even
