Re: [AMRadio] RE: AM transmitter coming available
The RCA BTA-5xx is essentially the size of two BTA-1R's bolted together. The cabinets do separate so would fit in 2 pickups with still room for the removed iron. a 1R1 hauls easily in a Ford F250.

Only a 1 KW rig at that (albeit one of the larger ones). A mere 2300 pounds if you don't count the spare iron. It handled the weight, but it was fully loaded and then some. Even the 300G, a 250 watter, would be a pickup load plus at 1370 pounds! I hope someone saves it, and that whoever does has a very clear understanding of what they're getting into *before* they get there. This comes from someone who has moved several large transmitters, thought he was prepared, and found surprises each time. It's a whooole lot different than moving a BC-610 or your average relay rack full of gear. de Todd/'Boomer' KA1KAQ __ AMRadio mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net AMfone Website: http://www.amfone.net AM List Admin: Brian Sherrod/w5ami, Paul Courson/wa3vjb

I think some of these old transmitters "grow a few pounds" just before you go to move them. Todd, hope all is well on your side of the state line and keeping the snow to a minimum there. [BTW, I think that old 10kw generator is still sitting "there" and like you, wish there was a feasible way to transport that thing.

RE: [AMRadio] Bull Horn
Hi David, Try www.freecycle.org which is a community-based organization to help people recyle their goods. You sign up for a list that is geographically near you and then post a "NEED:" email just like this one. If someone has one that is surplus to their needs, they email you. The rule is no $$$ can exchange hands. It's an excellent way to help someone else and also clean out the stuff from your garage you no longer need. We gotten rid of some furniture, linens, clothes, kitchen stuff. Felt good to give it to someone who could use it. Every few months I post an email saying that I restore old radios and TVs. A few months back I was given a SB-300/SB-401 combo. You never know... someone may have a Globe King or Collins that they want out of their attic. 73, Mark W1EOF > -Original Message- > From: david knepper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 8:09 AM > Subject: [AMRadio] Bull Horn > > Would anyone have a megaphone to donate to an elementary track > team that has > been formed by a few volunteers in our community. > Dave, W3ST -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[AMRadio] Lindsay Publications
Hello, I think one or two of you out there have mentioned Lindsay Publications before, but since I saw several posts about transformers, I thought somebody might find this interesting. Lindsay, which of course reprints old books and articles, has a compilation of several years of Thordarson transformers. They are advertising this as covering 6 different years in the '30's, along with circuit schematics for various projects. Book number is 22431 and the cost is $11.95, not including shipping. They also carry reprints of many articles on building ham gear from crystal sets up to the 1950's. I suggested they might reprint the old CQ Military Surplus Conversion book, but no luck yet. Their reprints are top quality, and not zeroxed copies of old text. Check out their site at www.lindsaybks.com Charlie W4MEC in NC __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Would anyone have a megaphone to donate to an elementary track team that has been formed by a few volunteers in our community. This group is working on a very tight budget so if you have one of these devices no matter the condition as long as a coach can get these kids attention, so to speak, your support would be most appreciated. The group will pay for shipping and a small donation to your coffee fund. We all talk about helping kids to mature into responsible adults - this is your chance to help!
