[AMRadio] DX 60 mods

[RICHARD GEORGE]

It looks like most people say leave it stock.  Maybe I will do that and save 
the modulator for my home brew rig.
Listen to the am net on 75 last Wed night.  What other nets or activity is 
regularly on that can I get on from the left coast?

[AMRadio] DX 60 mods

[RICHARD GEORGE]

I have my DX 60 now working properly in a stock condition. It is a fairly 
clean radio inside and out, but I'm not concerened about modifying it.  I 
would like to keep from drilling holes in the front panel but will if 
necesarry.  I have come across 3 different audio mods on the net. They are 
the WC3K mod,  KS3K mod, and the K4TLJ mod. In the groups opinon wich is the 
best one to use?

Maybe it is none of the above and I should just go ahead and plate moulate 
it.  I do have a 35 watt plat modulator that I built some time ago and it 
has a universal modulation transformer.
I plan on using a D104 mike, and have a National 300 for a recevier.

Thanks.

[AMRadio] (no subject)

[RICHARD GEORGE]

I'm in the process of building a 75 meter receiver and need a power 
transformer.  I can work around any filament arraingment but need a 
secondary AC voltage around 175 volts at 100ma. A 350 vt center tap would be 
ideal. I can run a full wave bridge or CT to end up with 250 VDC. Also a 90 
volt ac transformer could be used as a doubler. What you got?  Please reply 
off list.

[AMRadio] Modulator question.

[RICHARD GEORGE]

I have over the years built several low power AM transmitters. I would like 
to build something a little bigger say in the 400-500 watt plate modulated. 
I have been kicking around the idea of using one of the solid state 
amplifiers made for car audio driving a reverse connected audio transformer. 
I have seen these audio output transformers available in the 200 watt range. 
I understand that the RF output stage would have to be designed to fit the 
impedence of the output transformer.  Does this sound like it could be done?

[AMRadio] Johnson ranger paint

[RICHARD GEORGE]

Does anyone know of a supplier for the "gray" color on a Johnson Ranger 
front panel? I would like to try and do some touch up on my ranger. I say 
gray but being older and finding it harder to sort out colors it may be 
called some other color.

 Larry,
   The 80 RPM records were made for the Edison players, which
  used a real diamond stylus. They are ruined by playing on
  a Victor or other player with a steel "needle".
   One of my Edison records was recorded by Thomas himself,
  a plea for War Bonds during WW1.
  Please save the "thick" ones for a real Edison machine.

Re: [AMRadio] copper sheet

[RICHARD GEORGE]

Flashing copper can be purchased at any sheet metal shop or roofing company 
without the asphalt backing and a lot cheaper.

  Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 8:12 AM
  Subject: Re: [AMRadio] copper sheet


  I have found an interesting source of copper sheet, Carter lumber carries 
  copper flashing in widths of 10 and 12 inches, 20 feet long, It does have a 
  backing of asphaltic paper that can be removed easily by loosening the roll 
  and soaking in kerosene of diesel for a while, let it set for a day or too 
  if not in a hurry.   great for tube connections, etc. I am actually going to 
  use it over the surface of a chassis. I have always wondered about the long 
  term effects of bolted connections to just the plain aluminum.   It is not 
  cheap, $59 a roll for the 12 inch, but this is a lifetime supply and much 
  cheaper tan any other source I have found.

  A second use is that it can be easily formed to ones head, be sure to shave 
  all the hair off first and apply the asphalt/ kero mix that was sloughed off 
  when you removed the paper backing, you did  save it, didn't you?  works 
  great for keeping out the govt EM signals to control the population and the 
  added copper in ones system keeps 117.5 % of disease away.  The extra 17.5 % 
  is because the people near you catch something.

  I have also been able to isolate the source/ sources of the low frequency 
  hum in my area after many years of study. as has been stated it seems to 
  emanate  from everywhere, however that is not true when the scale is reduced 
  to only inches, It was observed that the hum is louder at night and during 
  the winter months.  Using very large crystals, that I was able to grow, and 
  wrapped with the same copper, I found that hibernating wood chucks and to a 
  lesser extent ground squirrels are snoring and that is the source!

  Pear reviewed documents will appear shortly on the internet regarding this 
  discovery. A side discovery with the large crystals  suggests that when 
  placed in a particular pattern they can collect the energy of the universe. 
  This has been somewhat slowed by the complete disassociation of the 
  molecules in the crystals when approaching the " resonate" pattern. Research 
  continues on this work with Dr. Pear, a significant government stimulus is 
  expected shortly and upon receipt the program will be greatly expanded with 
  crystals remaining in central Ohio and others in Australia and Argentina. 
  watch the skies!   Bernie   W8RPW

  If you this this was long, talk ( try) to me on AM sometime!!

I have 2 communicators on six all restored and crystaled up for 50.4.
I also have 2 communicator 2's in the process of rstoring. They are crystaled 
for 145.8 the old am calling freq from years ago.
I doubt that I ever will find any activity in this area on VHF AM.

[AMRadio] Gonset communicator

[RICHARD GEORGE]

Somewere out there someone has got Gonset communicator documentation. I have 
used all the sourses I can find on the internet such as Bama, manual 
suppliers, CD's, and what have you.  I'm working on a six meter 
communicator, It does not say one two or 3 on the front, but is an early 
model that uses screw driver adjustments for all the tuning controls on the 
front. I have 2 of these complete. Both appear to be pretty much the same 
and use a subminature pencil tube that is refered to in some of the 
docummentation but not in any of the schematics. It is a 6bg7 and appears to 
be in the Squelch circuit, the area that is not working correctly. On the 
schematics I have they show this being a 9002 tube.

Someone must have the correct docummentation for these as I own 2 of them 
both being purchased in different parts of the country.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[AMRadio] ^ meter gonset

[RICHARD GEORGE]

I guess I was not real clear in my early request on docummemtation for a 
Communicator 6 meter radio I'm working on.

I know how to use Bama, and how to download files. It is difficult at times 
for me to do it as my MSN does't like to go there. I also have the viewers 
required.

The problem is I need a schematic for a six meter gonset that is not the one 
that is on the Bama site. I thought that there may be a Gonset guru out ther 
that may know what I need that fits the model I have.

Thanks for all the replys.

[AMRadio] Gonset 6 meter radio

[RICHARD GEORGE]

I'm in the process of trying to bring back to life a Gonset Communicator. It 
is the early one with only one xtal socket in the front I'm not sure if this 
is what you call a communicator or a communicator one. It is the 6 meter 12 
volt version. I have a schematic for a 6 volt version but find it different 
in many areas.  For instance the one I have uses a sub minature peanut tube 
a 6BG7 and a 9T8 tube in the reciever. At first I thought the 9T8 tube was a 
mistake but it may be used because of the filament voltage in series with 
the 6BG7 tube. What I could use is a good copy of a schematic for my 
version. I have tried BAMA but for some reason I can never down load 
anything from that site. I do notice they have a six meter version listed 
but not sure if this is the correct one.

Any body got one? I will pay costs.

Re: [AMRadio] [AM Radio] A special day today

[George Brand]

Had a Knight T-60 transmitter as a Novice. I had tapped the power supply for
some reason through the rear plug. When whatever that project was over,
rather than remove the wire, I cut them off.
Went to change coax and, as I leaned over and reached behind, I accidentally
keyed the transmitter as my wrist was across those @#$%^&* wires. I flew
across the shack on my swivel chair and hit the filing cabinets hard enough
to cause the drawers to open. My head and my wrist were quite sore for a few
days. I started removing wires like that immediately.

According to Wiki, the holiday did not start till 1986.

But an interesting story non the less.

I was first bit in a electronics shop class. I was checking out a
power supply I had built for a small 6L6 transmitter. Got bit by a
lytic when it was off. (oops did I forget a bleeder resister) I
cleverly reached in and got it again, thinking my first go around had
discharged the cap.

My classmates found it amusing.

pretty much alike so some ops attached a piece of metal (a can lid perhaps)
to make theirs different. Older ops sneared at them and called them "lids"
ie:inferior op, sloppy op etc etc

Keep cruising towards the Extra!!

George  wa8sco




  Hey, George, I'd agree...'cept that I'm still learning the lingo
  and I'm Not quite certain what a LID is. I suspect it means
  something along the lines of "Loud, Ignorant Dummy (or Doofus)!" ??

RE: [AMRadio] Licence Classes (was I'll vote for 7190)

 That proved to me once and for all, that both the Extra class 
licence and the 1X2 callsign format had lost what significance they might 
ever have had, so I decided to hold on to my original callsign.

True, the General test today covers more than the General test of 1973
when I took it for the second time.  I took it originally in 1956 and the
content was about what is on today's test.

RE: [AMRadio] I'll vote for 7190

[George Brand]

Some folks forget this is a fraternity of like minded people. I'm still a
member of a club that has more than a few people that are greatly impressed
with their "superior" license classthe club is dying I wonder why?

The new club I'm in was made up of folks who believe in mentoring and
helping each other. I just stepped down as reigning old fogey  to hand
the reins over to a younger generation having taught them the basics of
EMCOMM and they're going to plain take off...very satisfying and they've
already made changes, already planning for field day next year, the SET,
expandiing our digital reach. Our small rural county now has new operational
VHF gear in the EOC that works beyond our highest hopes. After the first
drill, last month, the County EM sat there in awe, looked at me and said,
"George, it's been a long ten years to get this set up, it works really
well, what do we need for HF?" He also made note we have enough trained ops
to pull this off instead of just two of us.

I'd use a stronger term but this is an open list. Those who ignore licensees
"lower" than themselves miss so much of the hobby. Some of the best MARS ops
are...TECHs!  MARS is class blind, my son is a Novice class and would have
had the same full spectrum priviledges as I do had he stayed in and become a
full member.   So ignore 'em and have fun...

BTW, some of the biggest LIDS are Extras

George is now decending from the soapbox......have a hankering for
some Ancient Modulation tonite.

I've read the posts, thank-you all. From my aging memory I believe Bob is

finals happy. I worked at one am station where the finals were so bad we
tuned up by color...management was a bit "thrifty"ok,CHEAP!

George wa8sco


Pete - I wholeheartedly agree, EXCEPT that MANY RTTY transmissions are
are images.  Those CAN be very long - way beyond "old buzzard
transmissions".  Hence my surmise that reducing drive would be the
wisest method.

and remember to notify the FAA about it.  BTW, they were very good to deal
with when our tower was not in compliance. Gave us PLENTY of time to fix the
12 foot overage. (yes I won the arguement that an antenna 12 ft above a 200
ft tower makes it 212ft but decided "I told you so" was a lousy idea )
We weren't require to light nor paint it tho that could have changed in 10

Bernie & George,
Thanks for the encouragement, upgrading has been something I've thought
about for several years. If all the A.M. activity is moving down, that's
just the motivation I may need.
Like other have said, I think at times, there are a lot of 'us" just listing
, more of us need to push the switch and make some noise, rather we are at
3885 or down under.

With the cost of shipping so high today it would be nice if when someone 
lists and item for sale they put were the item is located.  Sometimes an 
item for sale at $100.00 is a great buy but not if you will have to pay 
$100.00 shipping.

Hey Rick
Put a 300 ohm resistor in series with the bottom leg of you parallel
resistors then probe across the 300 ohm there will be about 1/10 the voltage
therefore safer for you and the scope.  100 Watts into 3000 ohms would mean
about 547 volts RMS (about 1320 volts peak to peak) across the whole load
but only about 54 volts RMS (132 volts peak to peak) across the 300 ohm.

How does one test a modulator. I will soon have a modulator capable of
around 100 watts of audio. I know that I do not want to run the secondary of

the transformer unloaded. Would it be OK to make dummy load out of a bunch
of parallel connected 3 watt resistors, say about 60 watts worth at the dc
resistance I will be looking at (3000 ohms).
I know that this would only be good for short tests using my O scope and
audio gen. Any better ways.

I ran a lot of VHF AM back in the day, but only at 5 - 10 watt levels.

Yup, I headed to the local Radio store to have my Yeasu 2 meter rig looked
at (no TX). I found it it is a dead-duck, probably the processor, it will
make a nice paperweight...

ANYWAY...

I'm talking with the owner about the fact I was looking for an amp, prefer
tubes, mainly for use on 75M and maybe 10M... Around 600-700 watts...

He thinks a bit and then rotates to his right and points up on the top
shelf...

"It was left here for a repair about 1.5 years ago, I got it repaired, the
guy never picked it up... It is set-up for 75M and 40M.. Pair of 813's...
Everything checks good on it, it’s a nice amp..

You can get it off my damn shelf for $75..."

I couldn't reach for my wallet fast enough...

Now the fun part begins... Can anyone ID it, or maybe point to a handbook
that is may have come out of so I can get a schematic?? 

Here It Is:

I think EVERY piece of tube gear should have a window...

George,
 It looks similar to the one here
 http:://members.aol.com/tcsopr/vkgmbx.htm

 But the one I am offering has the swr meter built
in. The meter is mounted on the right hand upper
corner of the cabnet and the switch and calibrate pot
on the left upper corner. In order for the built in
bridge to function, it needs an external sensor, that
is missing. Of course, it will tune the antenna
without it using an external swr bridge.

you have to have a remote sensor and what does it do for you?  If you have

If memory serves the diodes need to be configured push-pull for

important to use a very noisy buffer in front the oscillator to cancel 
the hash inherent to the diodes.The second diode acts similar to a

Re: [AMRadio] AM Transmitter Advice??

Thats poppycock. Everyone knows if you reduce the output filtering, and 
use an all band, coax fed, off-center Windom it will be possible to 
transmit multi-band. If you have a 5 bands off the radiator that would, 
effectively, give you 150% efficiency. 5 bands x 30% =  150%. Think of 
the possibilities. Now who of then experts would dare say, "Theres no 
free lunch". The numbers dont lie.

That 12AX7 linear amplifier sounds like more of a FUN project

start telling you it can't be done, you will only get 30%

Hi All,

   I recently had a conversation with a ham in San
Antonio (forgot his call), and he told me that he
built a unique linear amplifier for his central
electronics 10a, and for tubes he chose 3 type 12AX7
in parallel grounded grid. He said he could run 30
watts input (300v @ 100ma) with no problems, and about
20 watts out. I find it odd though that a 10a can do
10 watts with a single 6AG7, and 20 watts is only a
3db boost. 


To my way of thinking, a linear amp needs to boost
your power at least 6 db (~1 'S' unit) to be worth the
trouble. For us AM'ers, going from 100 watts to 375
watts carrier does not meet the 6 db boost criteria,
and that explains why a good antenna on a DX-100 is
better than a average antenna on a Globe King 500.

Still, as I once posted last year, a dual 304TL
grounded grid linear seems to fit the bill as a 6 db
'brick' capable of 400 watts AM carrier output with
100 watts AM input, or said another way it takes 400
watts PEP and boosts it to 1600 watts PEP. There was
an old W6SAI construction project about this (single
304tl GG amp), and I recall that the setup in class C
could run 1 kw dc input with over 1 kw rf output
because of the low gain, and massive amount of
feedthrough power from the exciter that finds it's way
to the output. This was a way around the FCC power
rules of the day.

Larry's tongue in cheek comment employing 866's as a linear amplifier

Late last year I built an AM transmitter consisting of a Hartley

modulated by an AM modulator using only 6AX5GT full-wave rectifier tubes
as
the active devices. No solid-state magic, just simple full-wave
rectifiers.
The basic concept is that of the Heintz and Kaufman gridless Gammatron
circuits. The transmitter was set up for the broadcast band and works
fine.
It has been publicly demonstrated a couple times now and a write up
including the circuit was published in the February, 2006 issue of the
"Tube

Thats a good suggestion. It could be taken a step further and put them

With the commercial price of spectrum in the billions, wouldn't it be

I used to enjoy listening to big band music on 830 WCRN out of
Worcester/Framingham area but they went to an oldies format sometime
last year. I like oldies too, but it's hard to find 40s type music on
AM these days so I miss WCRN in that sense. At 50kw, they have a
potent signal up this way. You might give them a try too.

There was also a station over in NY that played big band music a few
years ago, but they got bought up by Disney and ended up playing
children's music and soundtracks from Disney movies. Think it was
WQEW? Up near the top of the dial.

It's always more enjoyable to hear some old music on AM broadcast
rather than more talk radio, but to me at least, there's nothing like
hearing some Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey tunes rumbling out of a big
old speaker with the receiver dials and tubes glowing away.

Thanks for passing this on, Larry - I'll have to fire up that SX-28A
in the front foyer that you were tuning around with in December - bet
it'll sound great, WABC always comes in here well. (o:

Whoops it goes back 25 years.


The Unique Call Lookup  is even cooler. If you enter a call sign it 
shows it year by year back 15 years
It lists previous holders and is cross referenced to the present 
holders call. It is the best call sign lookup I've seen so far.
The page also has a database of all available calls. 1x2, 2x1, 2x2, 
1x3, 2x3 etc. listed by call area and prefix or suffix. Shows when 
the 2 year wait is up on unissued calls. You can even look up an 
available call to see if and how many others have applied. The FCC 
issues lottery style if more than one applicant.

  Hi All,

I received one of these soldering irons for Christmas. I've long seen
the ads, and wondered if this device would be a useful addition to my ham
shack. They take 3 "AA" batteries, and I had 3 freshly charged 2000 ma / hr
NIMH batteries handy. The device appears to have a graphite split tip such
that no current flows until something conductive is put into the gap. I
tried solder, and had to wiggle it around to make connection, and then yes
it did melt briefly until the blob fell out opening the current path. Next
step was to solder something. I tried to unsolder a wire from a PCB. I had
to change angle to get the connection, and the pad warmed, cooled, warmed,
cooled as I moved the iron to regain the connection. After about 30 seconds,
no more heat...just cold heat I guess. I looked at the tip, and plastic from
the tip mount had melted and filled the gap between the graphite elements.
The tip was shot!

   Right now my Coleman soldering iron is in the trash can alongside my
Tornado fuel saver. %^$^%$*^&^%*$*$

Don't waste your money on this soldering iron...

[George KB2Z]

Hey Craig,
Does that mean you were "editorially challenged", or challenged editorially?
I miss the good old days when you could call a spade, a spade, 
without offending the pick or hoe.

Happy Holidays, George

I love it!

I'm the public affairs director of a large non-profit agency in 
Washington, DC. One of my responsibilities is editing our monthly 
magazine.  Last year, at the direction of our Executive Director, I 
included holiday greetings in the magazine accompanied by a small 
graphic. It was a nice, simple and warmly artistic lit photograph of 
a Christmas candle next to a Hanukah menorah.  Subsequently, I 
received angry missives from followers of the Christian, Jewish and 
Islamic faiths as well as a celebrant of Kwanzaa for either a) 
juxtaposing their symbol next to the "opposition", or b) excluding 
their symbol from the graphic.  (What's the Kwanzaa icon, by the 
way, a "Kwanzaa Hut"?)  :-)


No greetings this year...

Re: [AMRadio] Loop antenna feed question

[George KB2Z]

Getting up a bit higher would probably improve things.
To get on the air I've used setups worse than I care to talk about.
Anything works better than nothing.
Right now I'm using a dipole thats about 54' each side, fed with a pair of 80'
RG-59 coax cables to a 4:1 balun in the basement, with 3' of RG-58 to a tuner.
Ladder line is useless in my situation.
Its hanging off 30' of chain link fence top rail, swagged together, 
run vertical, and bolted to a 4x4 post.
The 5100-b loads up anywhere from 80 to 10 meters. I have been told 
it can't work. Go figger.

Good luck, George KB2Z

John,

   I to am a novice at this stuff. I'm having trouble
visualizing your antenna. You said,

Could you clarify this to me?

  I too have a horizontal loop. Mine is about 15' off
the ground, and has about 240' of wire (roughly 4 X
60'). I feed it with 450 ohm ladder line to the
ground. My antenna is resonant at about 3.9 Mhz, and
the impedance at SWR minimum (1.5:1) is about 80 ohms.
I measure this right on the ground between the ladder
line and my DPDT knife switch (I ground it out when
not in use). I  then use a 1:1 current balun, and
RG-8X coax to the shack.

   My first try was to convert from 450 to 300 ohm tv
twin lead at the hole in the wall, and go straight to
a Johnson 275 matchbox with 300 ohm twin lead. This
was dismal since the Johnson matchbox doesn't seem to
have a wide tuning range to feed 80 ohms balanced. It
did work unbalanced however, but poorly. So I switched
to coax after a 1:1 balun for the run inside. If I do
it again, and intend to feed this antenna at
resonance, 75 ohm coax straight all the way might be
an option.

   This loop loads up like a SOB, and absolutely NO RF
in the shack. The problem though is that my signal
reports are usually poor (often) to great (once in a
while). It seems that for this to work efficiently as
a low horizontal loop (high angle radiator) for short
skip, I need  good soil conductivity, or counterpoise.

Stations beyond 500 miles can hardly copy me, and yet
I can sometimes be full scale at 150 to 200 miles out
early in the evening.

Jim

RE: [AMRadio] Dumber than a rock question . .

Not sure if they still carry it, but Radio Shack sells/sold something 
very similar, in different sizes. I haven't bought any for a few 
years. Might be worth a look.

Good luck, George

I had a good friend send me som Vero / Stripboard from the UK.  Fabulous
stuff!

For those that don't know, Vero board or Stripboard is perfboard with a
copper strip the entire length of each horizontal row of holes.  Cuts are
made to break the horizontal strip with a special cutting tool, or a drill
bit just twisted a couple times by hand.  Cuts would be made in the case of
an IC - take for example a 26-pin dip package.  You would need to cut 8
traces by twisting the drill bit between the rows where the IC is to be
inserted.  8 traces, that is unless two lined up pins from the adjacent row
connect - 1 and 16, for example.

The board is easy to use, but does take some thought in regards to layout to
minimize the need to cut traces or use jumpers.  Meccano, the same makers of
the Erector Set, offers this handy layout sheet for working with Stripboard.
See http://www.eleinmec.com/article.asp?11 and choose your format - word,
pdf, etc. for viewing.

If I order board myself, I get it from Rapid Electronics in the UK at
http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk/rkmain.asp?PAGEID=80008.

I can't understand why this stuff never became popular in the US.  Then
again, I can't understand why the majority of good electronics and computer
magazines are no longer published in the USA either.

Barrie, you can buy push pins specially made to fit tightly into those perf
board holes and then solder your connections and parts directly to the
stakes/pins. It is a popular way of anchoring things to perf board.  I
prefer a metal chassis and terminal boards for larger tube stuff.

However, for BOARD type construction the BEST thing is  called VERO BOARD.
It is hard to find in the USA though.

Re: [AMRadio] OT: Joke Ebay Auctions

[George KB2Z]

Tom,

I find the whole thing very funny.
I once bid $200,000 on a right handed guitar, advertised as belonging 
to Jimmy Hendrix.

The winner bid $225,000.
I would like to sell my Tower in France. If that 40kW was fed into it, oh boy!
If the tower sells, my Bridge in Brooklyn should sell as well. With a 
phasing arrangement you could load one side of the bridge and use the 
other as a director facing west. Switch the phasing and have it 
reflecting towards the tower in France. All kidding aside, When I was 
a teenager my grandfather bought some property in Fla..  He had to 
wait for a tide change to see it. After all these years I still think 
thats very funny.


Have a Happy Hammin day, George

Thanks to Jim, Larry et. al. for the great advice on my Valiant 
restoration project.


  I'm very interested in the common wisdom re: the 6146 variants 
that 'work' in this rig.


  Now, I've been a boatanchor fan since they were state of the art 
- have done quite a bit of tube design, mostly audio though, and I 
do have quite extensive documentation on most tubes made in the last 100 years.


  So really there's probably no excuse for this question other than 
laziness - what exactly are the 6146 characteristics that the 
Valiant design "favors" over the other variants? A freind who has 
re-built a lot of these rigs says to only use 'plain' ones.  In my 
ignorance, I bought a nice full set of 'W's and the transmitter 
wouldn't even resonate on any band. ;{}  I put three 'B' s in the 
finals, and we're where we are now - OK on 20M and above, 'runs 
away' below that.


   What do y'all recommend for Valiant finals / modulator tubes?

  On the HV B+ filter issue - mine are iffy, were replaced sometime 
in it's history, but I'm going to renew them - what is the 
recomendation for a more 'modern' replacement - keeping in mind 
that I'm looking for the best AM fidelity I can squeeze out of this rig.
