Re: [AMRadio] OT : Paid Hams during Drills
That may be the Difference.. its a CLUB Station with a License and a TRUSTEE.. It is the responsibility for the Trustee to be the Control operator and should be on location( notice I did not say in the Room with the gear But Must be ONSITE) an example would Be a club operating Field day. The Trustee of the Club call is responsible. But usually if there is a Club member who is an extra and they are operating in the Extra band. would then be the Control operator On site. Usually the Club trustee is operating at the site.

Re: [AMRadio] OT : Paid Hams during Drills
Interesting This Rule it States "Safety of life and protection of property. No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station of any means of radio communication at its disposal to provide essential communication " BY AN AMATEUR STATION... All FCC Amateur License granted to a person or Club/trustee. It is not only an Operators License. But it is also the STATION license.At the address on the License or wherever the licensee/Trustee sets up a portable station where there is a control operator with the Correct license class to operate on the stations frequency allocation. This does not Grant any Police officer or OEM to operate an Amateur radio During an Emergency. UNLESS it is a LICENSED Station. with a Control operator with the correct class to operate on those freq. Since my Local PD OEM. Does not have any Licensed Hams in its department, and wants No help from the local ham community to Be the acting control operators. In this case even in an Emergency they cannot operate the station they setup. Just Because they Bought the Equipment and set it up as a Ham Station. Does not mean they can operate it without a Licensed Ham Present to act as the Control operator Even in an Emergency Because technically It is not a licensed station. Now If I showed up and Said I will be the Licensed Control operator and Use my Calls. It will then be a licensed station . and they could use it in an emergency. AS long As I am the Control operator. Another example is 2 towns over from me. The Township OEM. contacted a few local Hams including myself. and we Formed the OEM Group. we requested a Club Call for the station at the Address of the OEM. The Town purchased Amateur Gear to setup the station. This Is a licensed Club STATION. As long as There is a licensed Control operator at the station we have No Problem in allowing the Police to use ham radio in an emergency. Because this is a Licensed station.

Re: [AMRadio] OT : Paid Hams during Drills
It does not matter what any FCC official may Say... It must be Written in Rules. I questioned this at 2 SBE Meetings where the local FCC directors were guests From the NYC and Philly Field Offices. and at the SBE Convention. In all cases The FCC Official said If they Dont have an amateur license they cannot operate the Radios Unless a licensee is there as the Control operator. show it to me in the Rules.

Re: [AMRadio] OT : Paid Hams during Drills
wrong Even If a police officer is not on Duty. They are still On Call 24/7 and Hold Peace officer status. In most states they still Hold POLICE OFFICER Status 24/7..They can only act as Leaison between Amateur stations and the communications of a civil Emergency. Even If they hold an amateur license. They cannot communicate as a ham in a drill or Net They can Be at the control point, and advise the operators. My local police Department Built a New OEM. they got FEMA funding and Purchased alot of Amateur radio Gear , and installed it.. However There is not One single police Officer that is a licensed Amateur to use it. During a tour of the facility I asked If there were any Hams in the PD or OEM to operate the Gear. The Police chief and the Head of the PD Communications Claim I Quote." WE are Police Officers and Office Of emergency management, and In an Emergency. We dont need to Be licensed to use this equipment." This was 7 years ago. To this day there is still no hams in the PD or OEM But they still insist they can use the gear during an Emergency. BTW I own and Trustee the County OEM Repeaters on 2,220,440 and 6 meters They tried to Pull a simulated Emergency drill One night on My 440 machine with HT's they gave out to Patrol officers. and wanted To Press Charges against me For interfering with their drill when I shut down the Repeater. The County backed me up.

Re: [AMRadio] 160 meter antenna

Re: [AMRadio] getting onto hot AM towers
These days my tower climber uses a 6 foot fiberglass ladder to Enter onto a tower leg. since most of the stations I maintain are diretional. We usually reduce power and switch to Non-D mode so he can Climb safely. When designing a buildout of a directional we try to incorporate at least 2 non-D towers. so that if one NON-D tower needs work. We can switch to the Other. It goes without saying. If a climber is up in the air Power must be reduced. no Questions asked Even when callers complain they cannot hear the station drives the station owners crazy. But safety comes first.

Re: [AMRadio] 160 meter antenna
Jim you only need 50 feet of verticle space. why not just build yourself a Folded Unipole antenna if you Dont know how. Ask. its really easy. Just Run 3 lengths of #12 wire or if you have it #6 wire. short them up at around the 50 foot point and use 1" PVC Tubing as Insulators with clamps Down the side of the Tower. at the bottom Each wire is isolated with PVC from the Tower. BTW Each wire should be about 12" or more off the tower. then Tie all 3 wires together with a ring of #12 and take that as the Lead to the antenna tuner. Run at Least 4 ground radials 50 feet long If you can get the space make them 120 feet... and you will have a Killer 160 antenna. if not make an inverted L Run a wire thats 130 feet long. as far vertically as you can then run the rest out horizontally... again you need at least 4 ground radials the unipole is what we use for Broadcast stations when we are tight for height or space on a grounded Tower.

Hi Rick No matter what I tried to Fix what was done to this transmitter. It would Put out Spurs all over the place. Yes It got to 75 meters...looking at the spectrum analyzer It was all over the place. these spurs were causing High currents and arcing. in the output Network. self oscillations the transmitter was what I call a Runaway. you Could pull out the crystal and it would still deliver full output Not a Good sign.. thats when I decided to Build the output network back to the RCA design. and try 160 meters.. it worked first shot. Clean spectral. If you like to Tinker with High voltages and networks. and not worried about Blowing out coils. Cool Go for it. I would recommend you put a spectrum analyzer on it when your Done. best to cover your butt.. and If you Do get a clean Output on 75 meters. Let me know Ill try it on another Rig I just picked up..

Re: [AMRadio] BTA 1R1 on higher bands
Hello John To start with Ill tell you a little about me. I am a broadcast Engineer and maintain Mostly AM stations. Actually the Company I work for has 55 AM stations. I also work for a consultant as a field Engineer.and have retuned many rigs to new frequencies. The Problem I found with the RCA is the output Network. I for one like to keep the Broadcast Rigs as close to origonal as possible. For 160 Meters with the RCA BTA series. all you really need to do is remove one Cap and then change the Taps on the Coils. no other mods are needed. However to move the Rig to 75 meters. it can Be done but you have to Build an entirly New output network. I am not saying It cannot Be Done. I feel the Rig has more Value if kept close to Factory origonal. The guy who had My BTA 500r before me attempted to do just as the above. He rebuilt the output network I checked his work. seemed ok,but the rig ran into oscilations and Eventually smoked.. I bought the transmitter and rebuilt the origonal network fixed a few smoked Items.replaced all the caps and resistors in the oscilator board. Tuned the ouput with the Slider can Cap in the Coil the RCA stock tuning to Center. to 1.885 Turned on the AC and the rig came back to life.

Re: [AMRadio] BTA Mods
I have 2 RCA rigs. a BTA 500R and a BTA 1R1 Neither Rig worked well On 75 meters. so I put them on 160. The very first thing I would Do after determining If the Rig works on its origonal frequency. I would replace Every Resistor and cap on the Exciter board Less than $50 to do this. makes the oscilator back to New tolerance. and will be stable. Neal-ka2caf __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Will these same coils resonate on 160 meters. I finally, after much trial and error, got the buffer and driver coils to work on 160 meters. I had to remove wire from the coils. For a PTO,. I would recommend inserting it into the plate of the oscillator tube through a capacitor. You would pull out the oscillator tube, of course. Perhaps, a Heathkit VFO - being more common - would work.

Nice to hear from a new reader. My "kit" is a partial one with the hard-to-get components only. A programmed microprocessor is included. Note: R1, R8, and R9 are 1/4 watt, not 1/2 watt as stated in the parts list. Parts Kit Information: To make the VFO as affordable and simple as possible to build, I am offering a partial parts kit that includes the following: 1. High-quality, commercial-grade p.c. board with the AD9835 DDS surface-mount chip already soldered on (professionally done, not by me!) 2. Output op amp (AD811AN) 3. Microprocessor programmed for your band of choice, including socket. This kit is available for a cost of $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling (overseas orders add $2.00, with payment with a bank check for U.S.Dollars). The bands available as of today are: a. 3.5-4.0 MHz. b. 7.0-7.5 MHz. c. 5.5-5.0 MHz. (reverse tuning for local-oscillator operation); 5.0-5.5 MHz. also available d. 10.0-10.5 MHz. e. 14.0-14.5 MHz. f. 1.8-2.3 MHz (160 meters +) The display reads 000.000-500.000 kHz for all of these band choices. I also just finished a VFO with a 1 or a 10 MHz. tuning span (up to 14.5 MHz). I also have a 2 MHz span version. ***I strongly advise using some filtering at the output of the VFO. If you do not have a copy of the W7ZOI/K5IRK receiver article (which contains some very nice lowpass/bandpass filter info) I can supply a copy of the filter design data.I also have a CQ article by Doug DeMaw regarding the use of solid-state VFOs with older vacuum-tube rigs, which may be of interest to you. ***In addition to the above, I am offering limited quantities of the following: Industrial-grade, p.c.-mount BNC connectors for $7.00 each (made by Trompeter) and I have one shaft encoder for $22.00. All of the other parts are available from sources like Digi-Key, Mouser Electronics, and All-Electronics. The latter has very nice surplus displays for under $10.00. Anything by Optrex or Varitronix should work. My parts kit has only the premium parts which builders would have trouble getting in small quantities. Selling the kit this way saves the builder a lot by giving him the flexibility for choosing displays and enclosures, output connectors, using junk box parts, etc. and it prevents me from having to stock several thousand dollars worth of parts. ***Please make all checks out to: James Hagerty. My address is: 64 Nonquit Lane, Tiverton, R.I. 02878, U.S.A. I am also including a short assembly and applications ideas guide along with the premium parts kit. It's about 3 pages.

Re: [AMRadio] McMartin BA-1K transmitter ---------FS
Hey Bob...a few spare 4-400's?? I could use a few... I had the RCA BTA500R running last week Now its dead again.. Osc still wont power up... Frustrated YEP...the oscillator is driving me nuts.. sometimes it works other times it wont. Ijust picked up a Tower base insulator to Build a 160 meter vert. But it arrived Broken. the guy that shipped it says he may have a nother one for me? Im keeping my fingers crossed. you can see it at http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/wttm/insul.html you can tell your boss just put it on a pallet and ship me that McMartin with a special Note that says Happy Birthday here is a Gift LOL also the motor that is used to turn the variable resistor for powerup/down seems frozen..

Re: [AMRadio] RCA BTA-1R1 Available in Washington State...
Hey Dino Just keep in Mind that this transmitter will only work On 160 Meters ok... I have the smaller Version Of the BTA-1R1, the BTA-500R. 500 watts instead of 1 kw. It does not take well to conversions to 80 or 40 meters great sounding transmitter though.. Neal KA2CAF Dino Darling wrote: > I would LOVE to have something like this!

Hey boomer what's this Is It taken Yet? is it a 1R1 or a 10H? Fill me in is it available? Today after some weather delays I finally picked up and placed in its new home(my Shed) the RCA BTA-500R that use to belong to Jim Hawkins. I'm still looking for a 1kw or larger rig..
