IN 1954 I had the Walter Ashe Radio kit which comprised a 2-triode
regenerative receiver [6SN7]
, a 6AG7 - 6L6 rockbound transmitter on 40 and 80, and a single power
supply with a 2-position switch.
[That's called T-R switching!]
The whole station cost aboot $50 and I really liked it. But I

Dunc,
Everything is relative and boy can I appreciate your joy with the old
HRO. There was a good bit to be said for the Novice Class license. I

Did it ever occur to you that the folks who kept the bands hopping for
48 hours might enjoy a rest? Maybe spend some time with their families,

frequency and with same signal strength. Diversity with Beverage did not
help as all the stations were EU.
I demand a new upgrade from Elecraft. A
I had a similar experience at W7RN when running EU. Things improved
when I turned the RF gain down, AF gain up, AFC off, audio limiter set
well below the threshold of pain. The AGC was tending to make all the
signals the same level. Turning it off helped me a bunch. For most of

Here's a screen shot of the 20m band at one time during the CW
