Check JW Davis in Dallas.  They may have a good full range 12" made for 20 
watts or less.  They have a website.

Re: [AMRadio] Hallicrafters R-12 speaker

2009-09-06 Thread Jim WB5OXQ inb Waco, TX
Has anyone considered trying to find a speaker out of an old console radio 
or hi fi.  The tube amps in them rarely made more than 10 watts.  I use a 
entensiion speaker from an old Zenith set with a 10" woofer and a pizzo 
tweeter and it drives real good from a 3 watt portable radio.

Re: [AMRadio] Odd tuning on 160M

2009-07-19 Thread Jim WB5OXQ inb Waco, TX
Sounds like something in your antenna circuit is overheating and causing the 
resonance to change.  I had that same thing happen with a trap antenna and 
finally a coil in the antenna burned up.  I was running about 500 watts on 
160.  So I build an inverted L for 160 and I am using that will good results 
when my rotator dial starts turning and the control box smokes.  New I am 
buying a new rotator and i am not planning to run power on 160 any more.  I 
cannot afford it.

Re: [AMRadio] RME 4350 Help!

2009-05-30 Thread Jim WB5OXQ inb Waco, TX
I wonder if it received lightning damage or someone  accidentally 
transmitted into it?  Perhaps an open coil where the antenna is coupled into 
the rf amp tube or maybe an open if coil.  Some work with a signal tracer 
will probably locate the problem.  I used to take a small capacitor maybe a 
.01 and jump across coils and see if the signal jumps up.  If it does you 
found a bad one.  Of course a schematic would help lots if you can find one.
Good luck and 73, WB5OXQ

Re: [AMRadio] old BC AM FM or TV rigs

2009-04-04 Thread Jim WB5OXQ inb Waco, TX
This was a fairly recent Continental 5KW transmitter, all solid state except 
for the single ceramic PA tube  maybe a 4cx5000.  I figured little value for 
ham so it was sold to another small station.  It would be very difficult to 
get a bc rig into my shack but there could be room in the garage for one. 
This weekend I have to lower the crankup and repair my 40 meter dipole that 
fell in recent high winds.  I listen most evenings on 7160 but often hear 
little AM.  I am told when I am on I am very loud in some parts of the 
country.  I understand that 375 watts of carrier is all that is allowed on 
AM.  I used to think it was 1KW back in the 50s when I used to visit my ham 
neighbor.

[AMRadio] 7160Kc - The Video

2009-04-04 Thread Jim WB5OXQ inb Waco, TX
I would love to participate in this but I have no vintage equipment right now.  
Except for my linear amplifier I am running Kenwood which with the heil mike 
and good dsp audio settings I am told I have excellent audio.  My amplifier is 
American made TenTec Titan 425 and easily makes legal limit on am with about 10 
watts of drive giving my transciever a lot of headroom.  I do have a camcorder 
and a digital camera that can shoot video and a video capture card in my pc.  I 
watched the video and was impressed but like most I am not fortunate to have a 
broadcast transmitter.  I was offered one a couple of years ago from a station 
that went dark but it was FM so I knew I could not use it for ham.

Re: [AMRadio] For Wb5OXQ, and anyone else who wants to read the Mail

2009-03-30 Thread Jim WB5OXQ inb Waco, TX
I am surprised I was that loud for having to tune up on the wrong antenna. 
We have had a lot of wind lately and the rope that supported the 40 meter 
antenna broke and the antenna is on the roof now.  I am now on the twin 
sloper which uses the tower as part of the antenna system.  With 375 watts 
forward there is 25 watts reflected and that is not too bad.  The 40 meter 
dipole would have been better since you would have been perfectly on the 
side of it.
