Re: Topband: what does it take to get on new band 600 meters

Quite a loaded question... for every 10 guys on the band, there will be 20 ways they went about getting on (including some things going up in smoke and fire). Power requirements depend on your antenna's efficiency... for an explanation of EIRP, see here:

Re: Topband: what does it take to get on new band 600 meters

I have been playing with a few ideas, one was to mix a 6 Mhz Xtal oscilator output with a 6.474 MHz signal from my ft817 (into a small 50 ohm load)the difference, 474 KHz was amplified with tubes (valves for the UK ) and I ended up driving an old 813.Why? because I wanted a job for the tubes
