Hay Jim those are known as SUB Audible tones...When I worked for MUZAK 
every

city had six SCULLY decks and a controller to run the music,,, It would
switch from deck to deck so that the same music would never be played in 
the

same sequence. All with sub audible tones. Was my job to change tapes one
day a week and clean and replace heads when needed until Sat came in 
around

1981.
Now even the SCA has gone away. I have one dealer that still uses SCA in 
Mo.

KOMA in Oklahoma City, a 50 KW R & R station used a Schaffer
automation system in the 60s.  All the music was on 10" tapes run on
Ampex playback machines.  The commercials were on carts like these
and they used the Gates carousels.  They were a maintenance headache
for sure.

When the engineer took down the main transmitter for maintenance he
also had to do a lot of head and capstan cleaning.  They used a non
audible tone to control everything and sometimes there would be a
musical note that would last long enough to fire the next sequence
leading to two sound tracks at the same time.  Even today with the
compute control, I hear that happen.  It was mesmerizing to watch
that thing in action.  Two complete systems, one for operation and
one for back up.

Ugh.maintenance nightmare, migraine alert! Was just discussing

than they [reliably] worked!

Jack K9ACT actually built a nifty little loop system for calling
CQ a
year or so back. Works pretty well. Don K4KYV followed suit
sometime
after. That's as much automation as I'd ever want to have in my
station. And those rotary 8-Track-looking beasts are the reason.
There
has to be some audio evidence out there of one going berserk on
the
air. Makes HAL seem like a pre-schooler.

No sleep tonight, the carousel nightmare is sure to return. Thanks

Why do hams ALWAYS have to have a cow over EVERYTHING


I'm not sure that they do, Mark. although here in VT, we were
outnumbered by cows not so long ago. The influx from the cities fixed
that, along with us natives...well...having more cows. They're good on
the grill.


Lighten up folks, it's a hobby!


Many of us who have been involved online with these things
(AM-specific) for, say - over a decade now, have seen this approach
before. We've seen the results, how pointless it is, and how the 'new
list' still needs to copy the old list when they have a real question.
We don't understand why anyone would bother with such an exercise in
futility, since together we are strongest. Not that it isn't your
God-given right to do so, because we support freedom too. As Jim
pointed out, this is nothing new. Consider it our good-natured way of
pointing it out.

BTW - I just posted some grainy shots of my BC transmitter over on
'fone, having finally gotten it powered up a few months back. These
two resources are, to me, the ideal: the email list for a
less-structured QSO type of format, often with a rapid turnaround on
questions (many folks tend to be online for email, not logged into the
site), and the AMfone site for the more granular sections, ability to
post and view photos, schematics, and so on as well as the wealth of
information covered by both. Almost like having a book to refer to
when you can't ask a question. Even the little bit over overlap
through duplication is handy, it's helped me see things in once place
I had missed in the other. I can never thank Brian and Gary enough for
putting this all together years ago from their initial individual
efforts.

Hope that adds some clarity, Mark. Especially about those cows.

Hi Rick,

Over the past few weeks I have shipped a lot of stuff including several 
receivers (NC-183).


I used the USPS Priority mail on almost everything.  With priority mail, 
there is less handling of the item and it does not stay in transit as 
long.


At present, I am bating 1000, no damages and fast delivery.

I have also had excellent results using Greyhound express.  If you are 
shipping to a customer in a large city served by the Greyhound bus 
system, many times it never leaves the bus from the time you ship until 
it arrives.


If I sent you a large heavy item, I could put in on the bus in 
Tallahassee and it would stay in its place until it arrived in Dallas.


The cost is not that much when you consider the advantages.

Another thing I will share with you.  Go to a carpet store that does 
installations and ask for some scrap padding.


Take the unit and roll it up six or eight times and shove it into a large 
box.  This will give you about 8 to 10 inches of foam padding arouind the 
unit and.it's free



If it shipped that way with FedWrex or UPS and broken they will deny the 
claim.


It must be double boxed and hard foam used.

I suggest strongly that everyone carefully read the rules before getting 
burnt.

Good Luck on the sale.

I
should take a chance on shipping either or both?  The Valiant is very 
heavy
as you all know and the NC-183 is no light weight.  If I don't agree to

it will certainly limit the possibility of selling them.  What do ya'll

Thanks for any input..

Here's another idea, FWIW.  W7FG makes dipoles out of 16 ga. stranded wire

I assume that you want to remove it from the oil to save some weight and 
size.
This is really taxing my memory but I believe the new secondary (was the 
primary) may be a dual winding so you will have to determine if you want a 
FW or a bridge and wire accordingly.


This is going back 40 years or so and Ive no idea if the current style is 
the same as homes are no longer fed with 110 OR 220V.


My first experience with a pole pig was around 1955 at a OT DXer over a 
few streets. He had a fully cased one on the floor behind the rack and 
used it to feed PP VT-127A's on 20CW, the only band/mode he used. Boy did 
those tubes ever get white!

Hi Bob,

Yeah, I sure do remember the FCC examiners.  I took all my exams except 
the

extra at the FCC offices.

I'll never forget my first experience with my Novice ticket.  I had juat
learned the code and really wasn;t solid at 5WPM, but my dad was going to 
Atlanta

on business and I asked if I could go along and take the test. I lived in
Asheville, NC at that time and Atlanta was the nearest examining point 
unless one
wanted to go to a quarterly examing point, the closest being Knoxville, 
TN.  I

had just missed one there.

In any event, I went into the exam room and they started sending code and 
I

started copying.  I was doing really well until I made a fatal mistake.  I
looked up and there, glaring at me through coke bottle thick glasses was 
the
examinar.  He was about 5 feet tall and had a moustache and of course 
those
glasses!  I froze solid and could not copy another letter. I"ll never 
forget those
words he said after he checked my paper. "Come back and see me in 30 
days!"  I
did and the next time I passed with flying colors, copying all 5 minutes 
solid
without a single miss. This time I didn't look at him until I was 
finished,

but when he checked my copy, he smiled at me! SAweet revenge.

RE: [AMRadio] Pi Dux Coil

2006-08-29 Thread W4WSZ

Jim,

Counting from the blocking capacitor end, the plate coil is tapped at 4
turns  for 10 meters; 7.5 turns for 15 meters; 10.5 turns for 20 meters; 14
turns for 40 meters; and 24 turns for 80 meters.  All of the figures
include the 4 turn coil made from 3/8 strap.

NOTE:  Strapping should then be run to the band-switch terminals which do
not progress in consecutive order and arranged to provide the shortest
possible lead length.

Good Luck.

upside down in a mason jar full of water.

Surprising how much you get out of a single 6L6.and yes, the water
got hot.

Thanks for the memories

I have a mimeographed 1-page "brochure" here from Lysco announcing the
introduction of the Lysco 650 Transmaster Transmitter in November, 1951.
With the original mailing envelope. Free for the asking if you are a
Lysco-type person.

[AMRadio] 820D-1 Correction

1969 fellows...sorry about typo

Bob






[AMRadio] FS Collins 820D-1, KW AM Xmtr

2003-05-23 Thread W4WSZ
Due to the time and space involved, I have decide not to convert this
beautiful transmitter.  It is an original owner unit built by Collins in
1869 in 1969.  All original documentation from the factory and installation
is included.  Very large 8 1/2 X 11 notebook with all pages in plastic
protectors.

The Collins 820D-1 uses a pair of 5-500's modulated by a pair of the same.
The transmitter is solid state up to the final and modulators.

 Most users converted the transmitter to use 4-400's by simply changing the
filament transformers. I have the new transformer designed for this
transmitter.

The transmitter comes with a remote control panel for operation from the
operators position.  The transmitter is designed to be placed flush against
a wall.  Everything is serviced from the front. It is 23 inches deep, 41
inches wide and 69 inches tall.

Complete manual with very large extra schmatics.  A spare audio driver card
and extra exciter unit is included. All iron is original and has been
removed and taged for easy handling.

The transmitter is located near Tallahassee, Fl just off I-10.  The
transmitter can be moved in a standard size pickup. Help will be provided
for loading.  The transmitter can be delivered within a 200-300 mile area.

Priced at $1200.00 and I will consider a trade or partial trade.

Thanks es 73,
