[AMRadio] CCA First Wednesday AM Night Feb 6th!
FIRST WEDNESDAY AM NIGHT!!! Sponsored by the Collins Collectors Association. Wednesday February 6th,2008 on 3880 kcs at 7:00 PM local East Coast time marks the start of the latest chapter of First Wednesday AM Night, drawing hundreds of vintage stations from across the country. The event is anchored by a tall ship AM station in each time zone. The East Coast and Central sections run for 90 minutes in response to the tremendous participation in those time zones. The remaining time zones will be an hour. We encourage stations to check-in on AM using Collins and other AM transmitters, new and old. It's an opportunity to revel in this nostalgic mode, enjoy giving vintage equipment a run, and sharing some storytelling about classic vacuum tube homebrew and commercial designs. Typically more than a hundred stations take part in the evening's coast-to-coast AM event; by the time it concludes at 10:00 PM Local PST. LISTEN for the following anchors and stop by to say hello, won't you? You don't have to be running Collins or vintage gear to be welcomed into the group. 7:00 PM-8:30 PM Local East Coast Time Anchor: Bob W0YVA 7:30 PM-9:00 PM Local Central Time Anchor: Jim W0NKL and Brian K0EFJ 8:00 PM-9:00 PM Local Mountain Time Anchor: K0OJ Jim and Chuck KD0ZS 8:00 PM-9:00 PM Local West Coast Time Anchor: WA6FIZ Mickey We are still looking for additional anchors in the West Coast time zone.

[AMRadio] The Viking II is FINALLY starting to work
Hi Everybody, As you may recall, I mentioned some time ago, that the plate current on the finals of the Viking II I got dirt cheap, was well over 350 mA even without keying it down in CW, when the high voltage was turned on. A lack of time and some false leads kept me from finding the cause until late last night, when spending several hours trouble shooting the Viking II (two of them on the phone with Rodger, WQ9E, giving additional suggestions for things to check), determined the problem. Biasing to the finals turned out to be OK. BUT, the clamper wasn't doing a thing to clamp the current to the finals. It turned out that whoever owned my Viking II sometime in the past, replaced the clamper pot, with a multiturn, audio-style pot. Not only that, they had it's function reversed. As a result, the clamper circuit was almost completely unclamped! I was able to reset the clamper pot for 10 mA of plate idle current with the high voltage turned on. The Viker loaded up, and finally produced power (about 125W on CW, key down). Plate current is not maxed, but still may be a little high (about 220 mA), on key down. Also. a couple of times when I keyed down, I saw some smoke curling up out of either the area of the finals, or the loading capacitor. I'm not sure which is the culprit. I will admit, that the rig was very dirty/dusty, when I first opened it up (I spent a fair amount of time vacuuming in it). So, I'm not sure if it's dust cooking, or if a component is giving problems. Per Rodger's suggestions, I'll check things out some more today, now that I'm not so tired (I didn't finish working on it until almost 11:30 PM). It may also be possible that the parasitic suppressors on the finals are going bad (their wiring looks a little ratty), and as a result the resisitors inside of them are carrying all of the load, and as a result, are starting to smoke. 73, Ellen - AF9J __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio 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] Wiring
Another tube newbie question from me... When building simple regens and QRP transmitters, what type of wiring should I be using? I've read that with regens, mechanical stability is key and wiring plays an important role. Does this mean to go as far as using solid conductors rather than stranded? The wire I have on hand at the moment from other projects is some 16 ga. silver plated teflon (19-strand I believe). Would this stuff work? Lastly, are there any websites or reading material geared towards newbie tube builders? I still have some real basic questions that I am ashamed to ask about because I feel some of this stuff I should probably know and probably should However, I'm still young was was born in the solid-state era. *grin* I also don't remember much, if any, tube stuff was actually taught for my ticket back in 1989.

Re: [AMRadio] The Viking II is FINALLY starting to work
Yes, the final could have gone into parasitics and the suppressor resistors had to work hard and released some smoke. Fortunately they are very easy to make...

[AMRadio] Viking Matchbox
I received one response to my inquiry as to where the two variables would be position to line up with the front panel knobs. That is, where are the capacitors when the knob is at 0 or 100. The responder told me that the lefthand capacitor is fully meshed when the knob is at 0 - that does seem right to me. I would believe that it would be fully messed. Can anyone tell me the correct dial reading with both capacitors. The differential to the right is the one that has be baffled.

Solid versus stranded isn't the key point (although heavy-gage solid wire is probably best) but rather that of the rigidness ofall the circuit components. It is best to mount things in ways that stop them from springing and boinging around when vibration is present. Use of terminal strips/tie-points for every every joint (rather than connections up in the air) for example...

Completely the expected output power for the indicated plate current. 220mA is about where the book says to load it on AM... I think you can even go a bit more on CW but you'll probably get closer to chirps and clicks if you load it 'all the way'. Even on phone, it's better on the 6146's to drop the plate current down to just under 200mA (say 180 or 190mA). You're not drawing as much current though the secondary of the modulation transformer and the difference in power output is 90w vs 110. Who's gonna know?

Re: [AMRadio] The Viking II is FINALLY starting to work
Thanks for the info Bill, :) Hmmm, so the shunts are those two loops on either side of the where the center tap from T1 feeds onto the terminal strip. I didn't know that. I thought it was the bridging wire across Postion 4 on the meter function switch. As for the roller inductor - yes that's one of my concerns for being the smoke generator. If it's going funky, I have no idea if it can be repaired. I may have to get one out of a junker. 73, Ellen - AF9J - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 12:04 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] The Viking II is FINALLY starting to work Ellen, It sounds like you are almost there ! I just got my VKII putting out power after replacing a broken and worn out roller inductor. One thing that no one has mentioned is that the plate meter shunts, both final and mod, that are located on a terminal strip near the center rear under the chassis, can be poorly soldered if the rig was kit built. They are only about 1/2 inch lengths of nichrome wire shaped as little covered loops. Nichrome wire is not solderable so they must have been treated originally for the solder to take.

Re: [AMRadio] The Viking II meter shunts
-Original Message- From: Ellen Rugowski Hmmm, so the shunts are those two loops on either side of the where the center tap from T1 feeds onto the terminal strip. I didn't know that. I thought it was the bridging wire across Postion 4 on the meter function switch. The other shunts are clustered on a terminal strip under chassis between the 6146 skt plate and the front panel, I think. Don't have the rig here. They are low value carbon comp and I had to change one that had drifted. A meter does little good if it's not accurate. The 10 ma clamp tube adjustment indication is so small that it would not take much to be inaccurate. The screen dropping resistor adjustment, the big slide resistor, interacts greatly with the clamp tube adjustment. I kind of had to go back and forth several times to get it all right. A VTVM is best for bias measurements as most DMMs will load high imp circuits especially bias adjustments. As for the roller inductor - yes that's one of my concerns for being the smoke generator. If it's going funky, I have no idea if it can be repaired. I may have to get one out of a junker. I got my replacement roller at a Hamfest quite some time ago. It was used, not a Johnson but in good condition and exactly the same. A real pain to replace ! Hopefully you will not have to. 73, Bill, KB3DKS More new features than ever.

Hi Phil. Do me a BIG favor and let me know if you sell it at that price. I have a clean unit that I want to sell w/o power supply but had no idea what to ask. Would appreciate a note if you have any luck. I have a big hb power supply that runs about 3200 volts under load and delivers about 600 watts output with 25 watts drive input but the supply weights about 80-90 pounds in the old bud steel cabinet with 19 inch front panel and although nicely built and labeled, have no desire to ship it. hi hi.

Re: [AMRadio] The Viking II is FINALLY starting to work
If I do have to replace the resistors, is the wire gauge, and number of turns for the chokes, critical? I haven't found it to be critical. I generally use the solid tinned wire that radio shack sells on a small white reel, wrapped three or so times around a 2-watt carbon resistor. The resistor is usually 47-ohm or thereabouts. No I wasn't on the AM net. At 9:30 CT I checked into WB9GKZ's classic SSB net on 3840 kHz with my KW Electronics KW-2000B transceiver. I tried to use it last week too but it needed fixin' before it was reliable enough for actual use. Steve WD8DAS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wd8das.net/ Radio is your best entertainment value. I'm hoping it's as simple as that (they looked kind of ratty, when I pulled the plate caps to do plate to grid checks). If I do have to replace the resistors, is the wire gauge, and number of turns for the chokes, critical? 73, Ellen - AF9J P.S. - were you on yesterday morning's net?
