They are constantly zipping around the fests with sometimes little regard for the safety of others. I have been around long enough to be able to tell when someone really needs a scooter, and by the way, these folks that need them are either on a 3 wheeler or in a motorized wheel chair. Of one of those folks gets out of a chair or off a 3 wheeler and walks around, I have no problem at all with that. I am talking about the 2 wheel scooters and motor powered bicycles that few in need folks would ever be able to ride, and even if they could, they would not be riding them in the manner described above. I am afraid that one day, someone is going to get hurt by one of these OTHER folks and a lawsuit will ensue. That would be the end of hamfests around here, or at least wind up with the knee jerk reaction of banning ALL wheeled vehicles regardless of the health condition of the user. Another thing is that most hamfests allow the free movement of cars and trucks during the hamfest. If you have ever been to Dayton, you know that on the days that the grounds are open to hamfest goers, movement of 99% of all vehicles is totally banned during hamfest hours. If you have a flea market spot, you had better be in your spot by the given time and be prepeared to stay there until the gates close. Emergencies are handled on a case by case basis, but if the same person states that he or she has an emergency too often, they are going to get kicked out or refused permission to move at the least. Scooters and such are banned except for actual medical need during show hours and as far as I am concerned, should be banned at all times. 73, John, W4AWM ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list 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 amradio- [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body. __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home:

That way we could reduce interference to each other and move around at will. Most of the conversations occur between stations that are near each other anyway. 73 Jim W5JO I'm hearing more and more Extra class AM'ers expressing their intent to appear on 3600-3700 the minute the expanded phone band opens on the 15th of December. Frequencies I hear discussed are 3685, and down on the low end near 3610. No need for everyone to congregate on one frequency. Why not make it a point to start up right away on several frequencies spread uniformly throughout the band, and each station periodically shift around from one QSO to another, so that all the QSO frequencies remain in use into the wee hours, but allowing everyone to participate in the QSO on each of the frequencies. Let's make it more like the etiquette of a successful house party. Instead of everyone standing around the entire evening confined to one small group, be sociable and continue circulating from one group to another for the duration. WATSA y'all? You got less than a month to upgrade to Extra if necessary, and to get the rig and antenna tuned up and working on the low end of the band!

Re: [AMRadio] DC Load

The ham was W3QNI. QNI worked for Western Electricand was a master builder. He must have died 10 or 15 years ago. I have one of his transmitters and it is almost a work of art. This Variable DC Load is no different. So this is an aluminum chassis with 2 transformers, 2 tube sockets and 2 meters mounted on it. Controls are simple--one on/off toggle and one pot labeled ADJ LOAD--MIN--MAX. There are two binding posts on the front apron labeled positive and negative.. The Western Electric meters are mounted on a phenolic panel that sticks up above the controls. The left hand meter is scaled 0-30 VOLTS DC X100. The right hand meter is 0-300MA. A label across the top of the panel says VARIABLE DC LOAD 2500V 300MA MAX. The two tube sockets are empty. They are the large old EFJ ceramic sockets for twist-lock tubes like 203, 211, 805, etc. There are no grid and plate cap connectionsso the sockets must have been intended for single-ended tubes. The socket connections are wired in parallel--plate to plate, grid to grid and fil to fil. One transformer has 150V/50ma and 6.3V 1.5A secondaries. The 6.3V just runs the pilot lamp. The 150V is wired, with a silicon diode, electrolytic cap and two big ceramic resistors into the circuit with the load adjustment pot. The other transformer is unmarked, but it provides filament voltage to the tube sockets (in parallel) and the center tap is connected into the load adjustment circuit. Filament voltage at the socket terminals measures 10VAC. I went through my files and found a photocopy of a very similar circuitusing 6BG6 tubes in parallel. But I guess I'm not sure what tubes this one was intended to use--likely something that is expensive these days. I'd like to put this thing to it's intended use. But I don't want to put $100 worth of tubes into it. What are the options?

I do remember using a shorting stick in a job I had 20 years ago. I don't know about a high resistance, but I would be careful shorting out HV oil caps directly. If a high value capacitor, 25 mfd or more is fully charged near its maximum voltage rating, sometimes a direct short can blow the terminal connection open inside the case and ruin the capacitor. I would suggest a power resistor of several hundred ohms rigidly mounted on the business end. First, discharge through the resistor, then directly (just in case that resistor happened to open, per Murphy's law). Also, I have noticed that HV oil caps will sometimes rebound after a complete dischage and unexpectedly deliver a nasty shock sometime later.

I see no reason it would be different than a regular AC or DC meter shunt, is that correct? I have a 5 amp RF thermocouple meter and would like to extend it to about 25 amps. I think there might be a couple of things to consider in such a scenario. One is - for most 'regular' meter shunts, they are simply a very low-ohm calibrated power resistor. And generally the drop accross them at full-rated current (50 amps, say) is measured in the millivolt range: 25 - 20 - 100 - 300 etc. RF Ameters, on the other hand, use a thermocouple element which is heated by a small resistance wire through which the RF passes - there is no 'drop' measured electrically, rather the temperature rise of the resistance element is used - so the 'cuurent' meter is actually reading a few MVDC coming from the TC junction in the shunt (which it's not). If you insert another actual resistance-type shunt around a thermocouple unit, it would have to still drop enough RF to provide the full- scale EMF accross the heating wire. So if the the meter is 5 Arf full- scale, your shunt must drop a 5th at 25 Arf. (HEY!!! Just what are you doing on the air that need 25 fargin' AMPS of antenna current...?);} The other thing I'm wondering is - what effect all that Stuff (in the feedline, basically) is going to have on SWR - production of harmonics and spurs - etc. I'd be tempted to just build a simple pickup like the MFJ Balanced-line ammeter has, and use a DC opamp driver to provide full-scale readings in the ammeter of your choice.

The same goes for people working in broadcast engineering, especially at high power shortwave stations such as the Voice of America and Radio Moscow (now the Voice of Russia). A lot of that cancer scare crap came from a book published about 25 or 30 years ago called The Zapping of America by Paul Brodeur. Much of what was written in that book was pure speculation, but the politicians picked up on it and saddled us with all kinds of environmentalrestrictions related to RF energy. Who was this Paul Brodeur? He was neither an engineer nor a physician. He was a staff writer for The New Yorker, a LITERARY magazine! What is indisputable is that high RF fields will cause tissue heating. That's how a microwave oven cooks your food! Years ago, tower climbers working at FM or TV sites would report a sensation of warmth if they got too close to the antenna. THAT could be dangerous, due to the overheating of tissues and body fluids, resulting in thermal injuries. Current FCC and OSHA regulations require such stations to greatly reduce power, switch to an auxiliary antenna, or leave the air if someone is climbing the tower. And working in a tuning house of an AM station running 50 kW or higher can be dangerous, unless the transmitter is powered down, as the RF can arc to someone who gets too close to hot components, causing a potentially lethal burn. But it is highly unlikely that any harm came to Finns who lived maybe 100 or more miles away from the Soviet radar. One of the Soviet sites was believed to be in Minsk, which is in Belarus, at least 600 miles from Finland. The Russian Woodpecker was a terrible nuisance, especially on 15 and 20 meters.

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

Re: [AMRadio] Voltage regulator

Some of my antenna relays have protective diodes and some don't. If a power supply were to be used only for switching relays, could the protective diode be placed at the output of the power supply, rather than at the relay? Also, looking at a couple of Amphenol coax relays I have here, there is not only a protective diode, but a (very) small disc ceramic capacitor across the coil.

Re: [AMRadio] Amplifier to use with my DX-60
Harry, In the January, 2004 issue of Electric Radio, there is an article on the DX-60. There is a ckt for adding Heising modulation w/ a 6146 and a few parts. It looks easy and simple. Single issues of ER are available. Ya can order on line. The issue also has a brief history of AM modulation methods along with circuits. klc - Original Message - From: Harry Vaught [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, March 17, 2006 2:56 pm Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Amplifier to use with my DX-60 Cc: 'Discussion of AM Radio' amradio@mailman.qth.net Thanks to those who replied to my question about plate modulating my DX-60.

Apparently there is an older 802 type of system being superceded, and the older ones are really cheap. They provide RF coverage, but I'm not sure what would be needed at the other end to obtain the basic receive audio. Same with these whole house TV remote control units. They are marketed to people with only one LNB for the rooftop dish, who wish to control the dedicated box's output split across televisions in several locations in the house. Seems that stream, too, could be adapted to carry a basic audio channel. I'm using an old set of infrared headphones that the earpieces wore out on. Took the receiver guts out of the thing, put it all in a pager-sized plastic box that holds a 9V battery and has a headphone jack on it. The transmit end, normally driven by the television's audio output, now is driven by a tap from the mixing console (which, in turn, has receive audio on it). Range is pretty good. I've put the transmitter in a window so it can see most of the yard, and it's maybe 100 feet around, more at night. Paul/VJB __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
