Re: [AMRadio] Re: Gas and mecury rectifiers

2008-05-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Don't think MV rectifiers are much different with regard to pressures, 
and heating time than your ordinary flourscent light.  Its MV with 
phospor coating on the glass, and as I understand it, the ballast is 
simply an inductive current limiting device.

[AMRadio] ARRL 20/80

2008-05-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FOR THAT MATTER, why doesn't ARRL have listservers and discussion groups like 
this one?
I agree.
73 Joe

Sorry, but if you were trying to convince me the
people at the ARRL are actually receptive to
interacting with subscribers, I would have to ask you
why they don't have a website where complaints or
comments could be posted publicly and answered by
those in responsible positions. 

It's all a big secret up there.

[AMRadio] EF Johnson Attenuator

2008-05-01 Thread Joe Dube
Does anyone on the list have any idea how much an EF Johnson Attenuator box is 
worth.   This is the device that is placed between the AM transmitter and the 
liner to drop the RF power from the transmitter to a value that a linear amp 
can use without overdriving the amp.  Any help with this will be appriciated as 
I can not seem to find any reference to this unit anywahere. Maybe I am just 
looking in the wrong place??

Re: [AMRadio] ARRL 20/80

2008-05-01 Thread Peter Markavage
Some of the ARRL Division web sites and a number of the Section Areas
have discussion areas and/or reflectors. I see no point to duplicate the
efforts of the Divisions/Sections. If you have a ARRL corporate issue,
complaint, something bugging you, etc., send it to one of the ARRL
Officers. They're all listed here:
http://www.remote.arrl.org/officers.html

Posting publicly all complaints, comments, answers only services to tweak
the agitators.

There is a ham who makes a more robust version of the Johnson Attenuator for 
$60. plus shipping.The Johnson will dissipate 30 to 35 watts.So I would 
imagine $50. and up(Johnson collectors would pay up) for it. Just my

Does anyone know how many ARRL members there are and of that number, how

If there were sufficient members with email, perhaps we could get something 
started.
