Another one to listen for is the 'Babblecock' (Babcock) which also runs a 2E26 and is in the same league as the Subraco for size and output. I saw Mike, W1RC get one of these free some years ago at the Rochester NH Hosstraders hamfest. Nifty little transmitter. I had a couple of those small Gonset Commander transmitters, but sent them both to new homes without getting them on the air. Some nights you can actually run low power AM on 75, but seldom. Not only because of the garbage on the band, but also as winter progresses and the band goes long, far off signals can wipe out a flea powered rig. ~ Todd KA1KAQ __ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net
[AMRadio] New Old Rig Heard
In my earlier post, I mentioned a station on 3885 that was using a 2e26 rig despite all of the qrm. After 37 years as an active ham, plus over 3 years as a mostly ham band swl prior to that, I get excited whenever I hear an older rig on the air that I have not heard of before. Last night was one of those rare occurrences. The 2e26 rig I heard was a Subraco transmitter. The only internet references I've found are to a higher power 80 - 10 meter transmitter, and to a 30 watt 10/11 meter mobile rig. Of course, that was 30 watts input. I didn't get the model number of the one I heard, but the audio sounded good, especially for 10 watts of carrier on a crowded frequency.
