Chester, you're 110% right but, painful as it is, we need to keep politics and philosophy out of our radio groups. Hams have done a mostly admirable job of this, online and in meetings. It's the only way our great hobby can survive and be fun for all! Most of my friends are hams and most of my chatgroups are radio related, so I have a hard time keeping quiet, but it's still the right thing to do. Hang in there; the worm will turn. Wilson W4BOH

Have you checked your triode neutralization? Maybe your spurious emissions are interfering with your third order harmonics or your impedance values are out-of-spec? Perhaps a re-evaluation of your basic circuit design and/or the actual component placement will resolve some of the instability issues you seem to be experiencing. Are you using a Colpitts oscillator and maybe should use a Hartley? Maybe consider a crystal controlled phase locked loop with high stability circuitry. At least this would resolve frequency instability, though the circuitry expressed with vacuum tube technology is a bit cumbersome and power hungry! At any rate, I hope that your issues can be resolved! kurtt WB9FMC TIC* (* Tongue-In-Cheek) On 1/18/26 06:08, Chester Moore via Elecraft wrote: > Now what? > > When we all finally realize that we all really do need each > other Mankind's Global Community can heal. > > I know my childhood ended on Christmas 1959. > I was 12 years old. > I could not clearly see that until very verye many years > later. > > I have been asking younger people how they see the USA and > their lives these days. > I get a few good but many grim answers. > > Donald J.
