Re: [AMRadio] Re: [MOPAGROUP] Re: 2m AM Repeaters
The K6MYK machine in southern CA in the late 1950's through the early 1970's was 145.22 in, 146.98 out. Even a 600 kHz split would be hard to do with some much FM and packet activity.The only possibility would be 145.00 in, 144.4 out. Only problem would be packet which is just below 145.

[AMRadio] BC-610 FS in Phoenix, AZ/Homebrew pair of 813 Transmitter in Western PA
Check out the ads in the Antique Radio section of QTH.com's Want Ads. W7KPA the first one, K3ZH near Erie, PA for the second. Both rigs $300. each. Usual disclaimers apply. The 813's transmitter is in a 6 foot rack.I would say one would need to bring a truck to haul either one.

Re: [AMRadio] VHF AM Group
Hello to Dennis QHO. Cheap webmail wont let me reply with comments. In Lincoln Nebraska, we operate FM on 144.440 (arbitrarily)but I bet I could get most of the guys to QSY if we could get some AM started on 144.450. I ground up a few crystal for 144.360 for AM use here. Could change. Also, there are a couple of "camper ferry" people who come through here on 144.440 and they are from California and report activity there on FM. No big deal, just comments. 73 DE Charlie, K0NG .. __ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net

Im guessing there are 150 or more sockets here. $20 plus $8.60 US priority flat rate box mailing. Vector tube socket-based terminal assemblies. I forget what these are called. But they have a cylinder mounted below the tube socket with terminals for making connections like a terminal strip.

Re: [AMRadio] VHF AM Group
No regular activity here in the Los Angeles area. Another fellow and myself talked about getting something going but then he up and moved to Idaho. There will be at least a couple of old military rigs on 144.450 during our Nov. 4 MRCG FD in San Pedro. Did some hearability tests yesterday (Sep. 24) between Ft. MacArthur and other locations in the Palos Verdes Peninsula we use for this event. Used a pair of SR-42s for the test but will be running SCR-522, ARC-1, ARC-4, etc. stuff during the event. Dennis D.

Greetings, I live in the Trenton, NJ area and tried to stir up some activity on 144.45 AM with no success. I've made a few contacts but they were pre-arranged. If anyone wants to start something up on 2AM within a 30mi radius of Trenton, NJ let me know, would be glad to give it a shot.

Re: [AMRadio] VHF AM Group
Around major metropolitan areas there are many old time vhf AM operators. Usually with old rigs they couldn't sell! Here in SE Alabama, it is hard to get FM 2 and 6 meter contacts- even the repeaters are quiet. However, I leave the Am rigs on 50.4 and 145. The superregen will hear anything close.

I turned my gear on this morning in anticipation of CX. This consists of an HT-32/SX-101A, HT-44/SX-117, Ranger/SX-71. In an hour, the temperature in my basement shack (about 18' by 24') had risen four degrees, from about 79 to about 83 in this cool fall weather with neither heat nor a/c running.

Re: [AMRadio] VHF AM Group
Hello- People that want a good AM receiver for 2 meters : I have a bunch of GRR-23 units, they are FAA VHF AM receivers built by ITT Aerospace. Very sensistive and has a sharp dual section tunable cavity filter in the front end. Dual gate MOSFET RF amp, mixer. Has a 2N5109 post-mixer amp, followed by crystal filter and 4 stage 20.6 Mhz. IF amp.Unit is single channel crystal control, has dual 600 ohm audio channels, squelch, good AGC. Anyway, I have a couple crystalled up on 144.400. There is a synthesizer available that replaces the crystal osc. module, however it hits every 25 Khz. only, but 144.400 is one of the frequencies it will cover.

Hi Pete, Well, it's been almost 7 years since I lived there, but I think that is the 50.4 MHz group on Sunday mornings. Back then they told me their net had been in continuous operation for 37 years. I sure hope it's still going. The best that I can remember it was around 9 a.m. on Sundays but I could be mistaken. > Hey, Brian. What band...2M or 6M.
