Re: [AMRadio] Fw: Antennas

2010-06-22 Thread jon baker 
   W5OMR (Bigfoot) has been running 75M.A.M. mobile for years
  down here in TX.
   Sent me some pics of his present mobile rig, a Johnson
  Viking II hooked to a honkin' inverter in his Ford F150
  truck.
   Goeff is a "hotshot" driver, so most of his radio time
  is mobile.
   I listen for him every morning on 3.880.
   Have also talked to Sammy(W5DPP) mobile on A.M., so it's
  not totally extinct.HI
   Guess I need to look for an AF-68 or something?
 AD5HR, Jon
   p.s.  listen for K0CXX, Bill. He has a 20-v3 with
 Buck Owens' original 1950's audio set-up from
 his first A.M  station in Bakersfield, sounds
 GREAT. Check him out on QRZ, quite the Collins
 collector

Re: [AMRadio] AM on Ants(forgot to ID)

2010-06-21 Thread jon baker 
   Brian,
   If you're space or hieght limited, put up a full-wave 80 Meter
  Loop(65 to 70 feet on each leg if square), and feed with window
  line(one inch Twinlead) or open wire(ladder -line).Mine's up 33'.
   Loads up fine with my MFJ tuner on all bands from 80 up through
  6 meters. This is the only antenna I own.
   On 160, I tie the two leads together, and feed it as a Random end-
  fed wire (90 feet of feedline) and the loop acts as a 4900 sq. ft.
  capacity hat. In the winter, I attach a couple of 1/4 wave radials
  a few inches above ground, but roll them up in the Spring. Lawn-
  mowers do not like munching a few hundred feet of 16 guage insulated
  wire. HI
   On 2 meter sideband, I use a Homebrew "hairpin" balanced line tuner,
  and have made 300 plus mile contacts with 50 Watts.
   Any of you antenna gurus care to model a 40 wavelength loop up 33
  feet?
   Some will say, this is a Cloud-Warmer, but it warms some pretty far-
  away clouds. I have DXCC confirmed on 80, 40, 20, and 15 meters, 287
  of 338 entities, 30 on 160 28 on six, and 2 on 144 Mhz in 5 years.
   A large loop makes a great all-band antenna if fed with plenty of
  low loss wire feeders, and isn't picky at all about length or shape.
   Even with only 90 Watts or so from the homebrew 75M A.M.rig I have
  no trouble "getting out" to the TX, OK,and AR stations you and I
  usually hear.
 AD5HR, Jon

Re: [AMRadio] Member Count on AMRadio

 Brian,
   This is my FAVORITE of all the lists I subscribe to.
   Fine business on 485 members!
   One trend I've noticed, is newer Hams (KE5, KF5,etc.)
  showing up on A.M., hope this trend keeps up?
   The members of this list are amongst the most generous
  and helpful folk I've come across.
   Thanks and keep up the GREAT work!

Re: [AMRadio] Modulator question.

2010-05-07 Thread jon baker 
Talk with Jim (WD5JKO), I think he has used a 
Crown P.A. amplifier as a cathode modulator,
maybe an SB-200 as the final?
Unless you're stuck with 13.8 VDC, I would 
look for something in the commercial P.A.
type amps.(Guitar Center,Musician's Friend,
pawn shops,etc.)
I have a 45 year old Fender PA-100 with 4 6L6's
in Push-Pull, that is being converted into a 
modulator for a pair of 807's, the RF deck and
power supply are done.
Have Fun

   Yeah, a single 2E26 mod. by two 6BQ5's, and driven by 
  an FCC-2 by Norcal. 
   Hope to have it on 75M. in a couple weeks, should make
  1/4 KW after the SB-221, my 5763x6AQ5 rig makes 100W.
   Ain't this stuff fun??

Re: [AMRadio] sdr-iq

2010-03-27 Thread jon baker 
   Don't know enough about the 5000's receiver, but a couple years
  ago, I talked with W5GI on 3.880 as he was shaking out the prototype.
  None the "old buzzards", nor I, could tell it from a plate-modulated
  rig. I've heard several on the air since, and they seem to have pretty
  decent transmit audio, guess all the modern digital processing in the
  computer helps out there?
   Who am I to talk? I run a single 5763, modulated by a pair of 6AQ5's
  into an SB221 for 100W., and listen on an HQ-140A,or FT-847 ricebox
  when the QRN,QRM,etc. gets nasty. Wish I had a "real"RX, R-399, 75-A.
  etc. Maybe someday.HI
  I'm burning all the lights, idling both trucks, and dumping 1500W.
  into the 15M. ant., trying to work B1Z on 15M in the WPX contest.
 Happy Earth Hour

Re: [AMRadio] AM IARU Region 2 Bandplan

2010-03-07 Thread jon baker 
 All
   I agree with Steve, seems they are trying to squeeze
  us into "special segments", such as the 30 Kc. segment
  Kay mentioned, only 5 Kc. of which are in the U.S. fone
  band!
   Great comment, and reply.
 AD5HR  Jon
  p.s. Steve, Been running what I call a T-6,
   a take-off of your T-5. Single 5763 driven
   with a 6C4, modulated with a pair of 6AQ5's.
   A Talking Two Tube Tuna Tin Transmitter!
   Puts out 6W carrier, and I finally figured
out how to load up the SB-221 to get abt
90 W. of carrier. On daily on 3.880.

Re: [AMRadio] 78 records

2010-01-22 Thread jon baker 
 George,
   I remember borrowing a buddy's high-end turntable
  and setting it to 80 RPM back in the 70's.
   Made some fairly good copies onto reel to reel.
   A modern? stereo stylus seemed to track fine, and
  you could probably record at 78(2.5% slow).

 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] You must see this.

   And I thought the old Wilcox amp I have,
  pair of 813's, was overkill!
   Are they going to run up the price of the
  20V3's just for the audio and mod deck?
   Who winds the output transformers?
   This looks like fun, aside from homebrew
  AM rigs, I also homebrew guitar amps. HI

Re: [AMRadio] Get Ready for 15 meters

2009-10-26 Thread jon baker 
Mike and Don,
   I am a relay and N.C.S. in the Pacific Maritime Mobile
  Service Net. We meet 365.25 days a year from 22:00 to 
  24:00Z on 21.412.
   Being there nearly daily for eight years, I have found
  the band open most days, but prop. can be very spotty.
   The last six weeks or so 15M  has improved, due to a few
  more points on the solar flux index. We get daily check-
  ins from our relays in Japan and Mindanao. Stateside, the
  first-hop range varies from as short as 600 miles to as
  long as 2500 mi.
   Listen on 21.150 for the worldwide beacons, 18 stations
 around the globe, and in three minutes listening you will
  know where it's open. Most days, I have a solid path to 
   W4-land, AZ,OR and W6, as well as the DX.
   I've worked a dozen or so AM rigs, the AM "watering -
  hole" seems to be 21.420, triple-up my 7140 rock up to
  15M?, sounds like fun as it is a GREAT band for low to
  med. power rigs.
   I'll be listening for y'all on 21.420.

Re: [AMRadio] 10" speaker

   All,
  Search for "instrument speakers" as found in guitar,
 etc. amplifiers. My vintage vacuum tube guitar, bass,
 and keyboard amps love a 4X cabinet with 10's or 12's,
 but I run JBL studio monitors on the Fender PA 100( 4

  Dont know the exact response curve, but they cover all

Re: [AMRadio] antennas

2009-10-18 Thread jon baker 
 Eddy,
   As a long-time re-modeling contractor in South Texas,
  I've seen silicone fail as a sealant more times than it
  was successful!
   Silicone makes a great gasket if firmly sandwiched between
  solid surfaces,but in the extreme heat and humidity here,
  it loses adhesion, and wicks water if left exposed.
   Best tip I've used is to apply black electrical tape upside-
  down over just the connection, follow up with coax-seal, etc.
   Cover with self-vulcanizing rubber tape, and spray paint.
   The up-side-down tape helps keep goo out of the threads,
   and the paint stops all UV.
  Also, never liked the thought of Acetic acid around
  coax braid.hi

Re: [AMRadio] decals (2M AM)

2009-07-29 Thread jon baker 

   Bob and Bob,
  Just got off the ARRL website, the band from 145.500 to
 145.800 is listed as "misc. and experimental modes".
  Seem AM would fit in here? Hmm, a pair of 6146's mod.
 by a pair?? Sounds fun!!
  Speaking of 2 meters, last weekend I built up a balanced-
 line tuner for 144Mhz, fired up the D.C. to Daylight Ricebox,
 and My first QSO was with Raphael(XE2OR) for real DX! 
  I'm talking about loading up the same 80M. loop at 33 feet
 that I use on 75M. A.M.phone! Also talked to several Houston
 area Hams abt. 200 Mi. from here.
  Fire up those old Boatanchors, I'll listen in that band.

Re: [AMRadio] Sporatic E Openings

2009-06-11 Thread jon baker 

 Mike,
   Will do! I've been working 3's,4's,and ,8's in the mornings,
  then 7's and 6's in the afternoon on 50 Mc. SSB & CW.
   I always go up to 50.400 and put out a few calls on AM,but
  QSO's are rare.
   Never tried 29.0 Mc., but will start this morning.
