Re: [AMRadio] Gates BC-1T
The shipping weight is 900 lbs according to the manual. I moved mine in a little S-10 pickup. I removed the heavy transformers, tubes, front door and side and rear panels and that made it light enough for two people to move it using a refrigerator dolly. Made the move in two trips. The older Gates kw, the BC1-F weighs in at 2800 lbs!

Re: [AMRadio] Gates BC-1T
This thread reminds me of the article that appeared in the local newspaper this week, explaining that the local AM radio station's absence from the airwaves was only temporary, due to a transmitter problem that couldn't be fixed because parts for the transmitter are no longer available.It's a 5 KW rig, and while no details were given, the inference was that a big item failed, which leads me to suspect power supply iron. But geez, what kind of BC engineer couldn't hooble up a pole pig replacement (borrowed from the electric company) in a couple of hours, like I remember a CE doing back in the 60's? Instead, a new transmitter will be installed, capable of all the modern digital noisemakers... bah! I'd think it would be worthwhile to salvage the 5KW rig for parts, not much use as-is. 73, Bob W9RAN __ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html 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 To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.

[AMRadio] Hy-Tower
It seems this was discussed a while back, but I need some updated info. Has anyone used a Hy-Gain Hy-Tower vertical on 160 meter AM? I have tried every way in the world to come up with some kind of wire for 160, but I simply don't have the room. I have a Hy-Tower vertical that is still in the crate and I really need to get it up. I have the optional 160 meter coil, but according to the manual it is not supposed to be used with more than 150 watt carrier (300 PEP) or it will arc. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this and if there is something that can be done to increase the power handling capability? My lack of a decent antenna is my main reason for not being able to get on the air with most of you guys. I am using a Butternut 40/80 vertical with the 160 meter coil option and I can run 375 watts of carrier without any fireworks. However, I can only talk to a very small portion of the stations I can hear (on any band) in the area or anywhere as far as that goes. Any help or advice on the HY-Tower would sure be appreciated.

Re: [AMRadio] Hy-Tower
There is no reason the Butternut won't work Rick, however it will be band narrow. Put as many radials under it as possible and see what happens. 4 is very marginal, but will work, 8 is just a bit better, 16 is getting better, 32 is adequate and 64 is OK. The Hytower is a good antenna too, but will need the radials, especially on 160, to work well. I have a friend up in Mountain Home, AR that uses one on 160 with 16 radials through a Johnson 500 and I hear him fine. As you add radials, you affect impedance and efficiency. According to the specs: AV-18HT Specifications Electrical Specifications Bands 10, 15, 20, 40, and 80 Meters (optional mod for 160 Meters) Max Power 1500 Watts PEP Input Connector SO-239 Mechanical Specifications Height 53 feet Weight 114 pounds Wind Survival 75 MPH Recommended Mast Size n/a It handles 1500 PEP. 73 Jim/W5JO It seems this was discussed a while back, but I need some updated info.

Re: [AMRadio] Hy-Tower
If I wanted to use the Hy-Tower on 160m at 1500 w p.e.p. there could be two alternative choices: 1) I would just leave off that coil and add a top section as a capacity hat to increase the effective length of the radiator to where it can reach 2 Mega-sickles. You could experiment with a horizontal wire or two run off the top horizontally if you have a little room. I would start with one 50 foot wire or two 25 foot wires. Almost any angle would be fine. 2) You could easily shunt feed the tower. I have done that with a 60 foot tall Rohn 25G Tower and it worked extremely well for me. Towers and Florida weather don't mix well, so I don't do that kind of thing now! Just use a big variable cap to set up your shunt feed. I love that scheme. It would still give your antenna a very small footprint and let you run QRO. It seems this was discussed a while back, but I need some updated info.

RE: [AMRadio] Hy-Tower
Thanks Jim, The manual states when using the optional 160 meter coil not to exceed 150 watts output power or 300 watts pep. With the MK-160 modification, which requires over 100 feet of horizontal wire attached to the top it will then handle 1500 pep watts. Of course, it will handle legal limit on all other bands it covers without modification. I may try adding a few more radials to the Butternut, but I really want to make use of the AV-HT-18 as I think it would be a far superior antenna. I wonder if your buddy in Mountain Home is using the coil option or the 40 meter stub (MK-160) option?

RE: [AMRadio] Hy-Tower
Cool! That's basically what the MK-160 (not the coil) option does. I think the wire for the option is a little over 100 feet, but I might be able to go split the wires due to space like you suggested.

Re: [AMRadio] Gates BC-1T
I recently restored a Gates BC-1T and it has been a great rig on 160. No special modification was necessary to go all the way up to 1985 kHz. It was already tuned near the top of the broadcast band, 1590 kHz, so I just retuned as per the manual and there it was. If yours is lower in the band you may need to change some jumpers or taps. The built-in dummy load is very handy. You can see some photos on my website at http://www.wd8das.net/gates.html and look back through the archives of this mailing list for the discussions during my restoration. I'll send you electronic copies of the manual and schematics.
