Last week we were run off 10115 by a DX station and the ensuing DX pileup. This week, we'll try to run ECN/30 with an interesting twist. You will find me calling for QNI on one of the following 30m frequencies: 10.103.7 10.112.3 10.118.4 10.126.2 10.134.6 These were all picked randomly by me on

I had the same problem with a ts-850 and a Heathkit HL-2200(SB-221 same ciruit) Some tube amps(especialy Heath kits) have to be modified for proper operation. Tube amps may present as much as a 2:1 SWR to a transistor final rig. With a tube rig, this is compensated for by the final

The Sherwood Engineering data says that for the 2 kHz spacing dynamic range test, the K2's performance was limited not by nonlinearity (intermodulation distortion) but by the K2's oscillator phase noise sidebands. The same table says the same thing about the Ten Tec Orion's performance in the
