   Switch a resistor = to meter resistance in series so meter moves 50%.
   Could be done with mini relay activated when transmitting .

Re: [Boatanchors] Software to create Schematics

Hi Gary,

I use 
SchemeIt | Free Online Schematic Drawing Tool | DigiKey ...
www.digikey.com/schemeit/
Digi‑Key
SchemeIt is a free online schematic drawing tool that will allow you to produce 
professional looking schematic diagrams, add corresponding part numbers,

It works good..  I also like ExpressPCB.

73, Jophn

[Boatanchors] RadioWorld - AWA Saves a Piece of Delano Station by James O'Neal, K4XAR

2015-02-12 Thread oldradio
Big, I mean really BIG, article in the February 11, 2015 RadioWorld Magazine.

You won't want to miss this story about the 250kW Collins transmitter 
which was saved from the scrap yard by the combined efforts of the  
AWA (Antique Radio Association - http://www.antiquewireless.org/ ) 
and the Collins CCA (Collins Collector Association - 
http://www.collinsradio.com/ )

Online version - 
http://www.radioworld.com/article/awa-saves-a-piece-of-delano-station/274511

This transmitter was rescued from the 'Voice of America Delano California 
Shortwave Station'
with the rescue crew given only about one week to remove it. A massive 
undertaking.

It will be on display in the new AWA Museum located in Bloomfield, NY.

You can help fund and be a part of this project by joining the Collins CCA, by 
joining the AWA, or...

Please consider a donation, no matter the size, to support our efforts.
