[AMRadio] amphenol 78-S5 sockets find
I have about a dozen of these sockets, brand shiney new, that need a home. These do NOT have the mounting ring with ears, but are the style held in with the funky little metal snap in place ring. However, we all know you can strip the rings with ears off older used sockets and make them work. Anyway, I kept a few of these for myself and have 12 in need of a home. $1 each and shipping if anyone desires some of these, drop me an E Ronnie - W5SUM

Re: [AMRadio] My Novice QSL
A really good idea for those who might not otherwise replace or find their original card. I still have some of mine and then found a friend I had worked in the 50's and we swapped cards. A simple list of those that still have their QSL cards from certain years could be collected. And then it would be up to those looking to check their logs. Not having the logs makes the effort go to the holder though.

I thought it was bad 15 years ago, I can't imagine how much worse things have gotten with all of the new plug-n-play crap around. I mean, really... in MY case, I've got a pair of 250TH's in push-pull, link coupled... and in order to keep World War III from occuring in the neighborhood, from the hours of 6AM to 12Midnight, I limit my power output to 100w of carrier. ONE HUNDERED WATTS OUT, from a *pair* of 250TH's. down to 1500v on the plates, 100mA... hell the modulator is dissapating more power than what the final is. (another pair of 250TH's w/1500v @ 100mA bias) From Midnight to 6am, I endulge my 'high power' craving by shoving the link in, until I reach 200w of carrier output. The final tubes -still- don't know that they're even on, but with a full-wave loop fed w/450ohm ladder line, I've gotten some good reports from fairly distance places (like Skowhegan, ME). My plan, all along, was to run the final around 1500v @350mA, and then modulate that, with the 250TH's at 3kVDC, biased off at 150mA. THEN, those tubes show some color ;-) but, alas, that's only into a dummy load... only 200w output, durning self-imposed quiet hours... and I still get complaints about that. Had a neighbor, at one time, call my house at 3am, to tell me I was screwing up his TV (on rabbitt ears, in his garage, while he was doing machine-shop type work, with drills and lathes and milling machine running into my bedroom window, was is next to the garage he was in). I said I don't get on during the day time, except early morning, and even then, the power is limited... and it's 3am in the morning, I can't sleep because of the noise you're making, and you're bitching about me messing up your TV that's on RABBITT ears? WHEN do I get to enjoy -my- hobby? I hung up, and he apologized the next day. 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
