Re: [AMRadio] 1 kw broadcast transmitter available
This is hilarious! I have to agree about CCA but a 1KW can' be all that bad. BTW, wouldn't the worst encounter be with Thor (the god of Thunder)? I can relate to all of the critters inside.

I thought that I would throw out this reminder to those AM lovers out there that the next two weekends will provide opportunities to dust off those old AM rigs and have some smooth sounding AM QSO's in no pressure contests. The Classic Exchange for AM/SSB/FM will be on Sunday February 15th starting at 9 AM EST.

Re: [AMRadio] 1 kw broadcast transmitter available
Jerry I do indeed still have the schematic. I'll get in in an envelope by tomorrow. Again, don't worry about cost, glad to be able to assist. BTW I was able to salvage some parts out of the 1000 from Big Spring like the auto transformers and some of the coils in the output section. I couldn't wrestle any of the other iorn into the back of the truck by myself, and most of the other parts of ham intrest weren't worth saving cracked door knobs for example. Let me know if you need any of the above. Just looking at the schematic, you might be intrested in converting the PA output network to a PI-EL like I'm doing to my Bauer 707. Use the existing coils and add a couple of variable caps. I used Jim Tonne's PIEL software to calculate the values. It's a free download from Jim's website.

Hi Bob, Thank you for posting that link. I enjoyed watching it very much. While I do not have any marine experience, I can appreciate everything that the video depicted. Quite a shame that these stations are becoming a thing of the past. All digital, satellite and SS equipment taking its place.
