[AMRadio] What is the typical output of a 6LQ6?
I'm considering acquring a disused CB amplifier which uses 3 6LQ6's in the final (driven by another). The input is cathode driven. I will modify this unit for 6M operation. The question I have is what is the typical output of a 6LQ6?

Re: [AMRadio] What is the typical output of a 6LQ6?
I would rather run two 6LQ6's on 6m, as the interelectrode capacitance would probably be too high on 6 with 3 tubes.I had one once with a 6JG6 taking 2 watts and driving a pair of 6LQ6/6JE6's to 70 watts out on 6m.That was on ssb. On AM, I would expect no more than 50 watts and cool it well with a squirrel cage fan. YMMV.

I currently have a Mirage solid-state linear that will do 150W output. There is no point in acquiring the tube amp, if it will do the same job.

[AMRadio] Radio Noise, BPL?
Hello, I just finished cleaning and some repairs to my main HF receiver and put up a longwire inside the large old factory room outside of my new workshop location. Being inside a building is really not the best thing but this is temporary and it's an old 4 story 100 yr old mill built mostly of brick and without any other working industry present. Mainly some artists lofts, etc. So what I have found is this white noise like signal with clear harmonic related intervals from at least the broadcast band up to a significant level above 40 meters. It completely overloads the receiver below 80 meters so it has been difficult to pinpoint the exact fundamental if there is one. I am talking about a signal level almost as strong as the local AM station!!. Some D.F.ing using a portable with a ferrite having excellent nulls pinpointed what appears to be the source as being a large outside electric meter box supplying service to an attached office building about 100ft away from my workshop. The level of the RF noise around this panel is unbelievable! This office has not been occupied for about a year but the last tenant was a cable installation subcontractor. There is no intellegence apparent on the noise or what seems to be a carrier buried in it. No AM FM PM or any other form of modulation. The level does reduce when there is rain. Has anyone experienced BPL this close or have any idea what this could be? I still have to clean and repair any damage to my spectrum analyser to get a better picture of what is actually going on or I would have more technical info to relate. Will be contacting the electric company once I have done some more specific testing. Kind of a ramble but Bill, KB3DKS __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ 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.
