Re: [AMRadio] Buzzies and hash all over the spectrum
Interesting paper Steve. It just goes to show that people are becoming more "Penny-wise and pound foolish". Cheap electronic crap will continue to bedevil us all until it becomes such a problem that broadcasters can't send enough signal to their consumers for reliable reception. Cheap electronics has been an issue with my ham radio station. Every time I get on 6M, my neighbor calls because the cheap TV in her bedroom has a built in detector in it (probably a cold solder joint) that rectifys my audio and then injects it, uncontrolled, into the audio amp portion of the set so my audio blasts out of the speakers and is uncontrollable except by shutting off the set or my going off the air. You can guess what avenue I take in order to maintain peace in the neighborhood. Bill-WF1L I did a study of the noise problems for FM broadcast reception due to locally-generated noise. You guys might find it interesting as it really applies to the whole spectrum (I just needed to focus on our industry in particular). I've posted a copy of the resulting paper on my website at http://www.wd8das.net/IndoorRadioNoise/IndoorRadioNoise-paper.pdf Steve WD8DAS sbjohns...@aol.com http://www.wd8das.net/ Radio is your best entertainment value. -Original Message- From: D.

Re: [AMRadio] 3.860
This (encouragement) is what "we" all should be doing to everyone that seems to be having a problem with their signal and not belittling their efforts or outright harrassment. This "bullying" is what has soured many on the hobby which is a shame. This hobby was built on the principle of "Elmer-ing" and bringing along the novices and those who had an interest in what we do and how we do it. Those who continually put others down, either at club meetings or on the air, are only strengthening a negative image, of ham radio, that brings us all down.

Re: [AMRadio] Open vs Closed -expanded
My practice is to listen, listen, listen and listen again before I attempt to join an established QSO. In that way, I am familiar with the subject being discussed and can add meaningful material to the discussion. I learned this established practice back in the 60's when I first became interested in Ham Radio but could only get a cheap Regen SW General Coverage receiver so I was limited to hamming vicariously. When I was able to get my first CB Transceiver, I emulated my learned HF operating procedures as much as possible, staying away from the silliness that developed there over the years. If an aspiring or newly minted ham wants to "get his act together" without the benefit of an elmer's guidance, there are two documents that one might read to develop a "responsible" and "mature" on air personna. These being "Lose your Novice Accent" and the ARRL Operating Manual. Reading these should lead anyone to appear knowledgeable, polite and how to use proper etiquette on the airwaves.

But since CB is a carry over from ham radio and was used pretty much by hams for local communications (like the 2 meter band was initially) even after it became CB, doesn't a lot of that really just carry back to the amateur community? CBers used a lot of ham terms - Q signals, 73, 88 and so on, no doubt from that time. 'Contact' is certainly a ham term, coming from those wonderful 'nets'. For years CB and Incentive Licensing got the brunt of the blame for all things bad in amateur radio by those wanting to make themselves somehow look superior to others, until the no code techs came along. Then the CW requirement was abolished and the codeless license became the whipping post, at the expense of alienating new hams who had no choice in what test they took. Lately it's the vanity call sign program. It makes you wonder how these people can possibly enjoy amateur radio if it makes them so miserable. > I don't even like to use "break". I just wait till I catch a pause between > carriers and give my callsign. And I've heard old timers rant on the air about how rude, stupid, etc that is too. You don't just drop your callsign, that's rude! I also remember old timers saying that you should never call CQ on the 75/80m bands. It just wasn't 'proper'. Fortunately it was only a few, and most folks seem to have not paid much attention to their rants. Newbie or Old Timer, I suspect the idiot ratio remains fairly constant regardless of age or time licensed. Guess it's a good thing we get to decide for ourselves and don't have to follow someone else's opinion of what's best and why. Amateur radio is in enough trouble without having to weed out the 'unworthy' who don't do things the way some think they should.

Re: [AMRadio] Any amplifier suggestions?
Download the manual and schematic for Heathket SP-1000 or Ameritron AL-80. It's a pretty straight forward design running a single 3-500 in grounded grid and good for 160 thru 10M The earlier two 3-500 tube amps that heath sold might work better for AM as the final tubes won't have to work the duty cycle as long. Also check out back copies (pre 1960) of the Handbook for earlier designs. Good luck!

These are the bands i operate on where the extra power would help. Fewer parts count the better. Ultimately lower cost the better. I have power supply parts and believe that i can generate around 2000 volts. I am slowly researching tubes and am leaning toward 2 or 4 tubes that can basically generate lots of watts at half to two thirds their ratings to prolong their life span. Perhaps tubes such as 811's, 810's, 833's, 4-400's. I am open to suggestions. I will need to build or acquire a heavy duty matching system as part of the amp. My goal is at least 300 Watts AM. I do not want to mess with systems that require cooling other than fans. I am not interested in modes for this amp other than am and cw. It will almost exclusively be used for am as i rarely use more than 5 watts on cw any way. Simpler cheaper is better for me. I appreciate your suggestions.

Hi Group, Name here is Bill and I am essentially a newbie to AM Operating. I've just completed assembly of my vintage AM station and have spen time fruitlessly calling CQ on 7.290 and 7.160 when I can get in between the SSB lids. Was able to finally complete a QSO with Warren, W1GUD down in Tampa tonight on 7.155 as he was wrapping up a round table with a couple other guys that the QRN and QRM was keeping me from copying. I'll be out there only on 40 until I can get my long wire antenna back up then 80/160 will be open to me as well. Watch for me.

On the other hand I got this very nice email a few minutes ago from a ham who I won't identify because he may not like my forwarding his email to a reflector so I'll just put in the text: "I was monitoring 7.165 sunday morning and heard you and WB0JZG in qso. I wish to congratulate you on your AM station and the broadcast quality signal heard on sunday morning - very nice S9 + 10 carrier with fantastic audio. Also your qrz bio was informative and humorus at the same time. Enjoyable to read. In fone I operate mostly SSB but AM adds spice, variety and enjoyment to my operating activities. I was listening to you both on a restored Collins 75 A1. My AM transmitter is a Collins 32 V2 with 2 channel EQ to give added mid range to base generated by the Collins. I have made AM contacts on my Icom 7800 and alpha 89. More fun using the Collins on AM."

Re: [AMRadio] W2A
Boy that is an impressive array of vintage equipment! I hope you had a great time. Still working on getting my station back up on 80/160M.

John N2ZYZ, who was among the station ops, has posted a nice set of still photos of the event. He will compile the log and is crafting a special commemorative QSL. Many thanks to Dave, W2VW for organizing this event. If you missed us, here are some YouTube videos showing just a small portion of the great time we had. Regards to all.

Could someone kindly post this email to the military radio reflector and the boatanchors reflector? We worked folks from both groups. Many thanks. __ 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 Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
