Re: [Drakelist] The un-needed OTHER Drake List
Well, I guess I have to answer this, since it was obviously aimed at me. I don't know 'why' the 'other' list was started, just that I was asked a couple of years ago if I would help moderate it. Since it had a LOT of members and was pretty active, I agreed. About a year ago the original owner asked if I would take over the list as he had lost interest and/or didn't have the time to invest in it. By then it had 450 members, and seemed to be about the same activity as Drakelist, just at different times. One list will have a little flurry of activity, then the other, but rarely at the same time. So. Point one, people DO lose interest and just 'go away'. Others end up in the hospital for three months and are unable to even operate a mouse. So it certainly does NOT hurt to have a second, known, 'backup' if you will, list in operation. I figured the 450+ members indicated there was 'some' purpose' being served and it was therefore worth 'saving'. Point two, Yahoo groups are a very large operation, and 'new' people looking for a list will probably go there first, so it doesn't hurt us to have a presence there. I'm sure that just about every member of that list is also a member of this list. I DO have a few people join every week that I have never heard of before, so I suspect that perhaps they are NOT members here. Point three. I DO NOT see 'my' list as a competitor to Drakelist. If someone asks me about lists I always give them the information on both. SOME people do not like the 'mailman' system for some reason, some 'trust' Yahoo, and some 'hate' Yahoo. Whatever! Point four. Although both lists are somewhat active, I rarely see a 'cross-post', which is a very good thing. I subscribe to and contribute to both, and see them both as a positive for the Drake community. I actually subscribe to one called 'drake-radio-operat...@yahoo' which has about one post every three-four months. I respond and direct them to these two lists so they don't think the Drake community is dead! Personally, I do NOT like multiple 'sub-lists' that seem to pop up for every minute sub-culture. If we followed 'some' examples, we'd have a separate list for R-4C's with FET IF amps.! But I DO think there is some small advantage to having two 'primary' lists in operation, _especially_ if the users are smart enough to NOT cross-post. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Thom LaCosta wrote: At 06:26 8/13/2010, john wrote: I wonder which genius decided there was a need for a second list Lots of folks start lists for lots of reasons...

Re: [Drakelist] The un-needed OTHER Drake List
This may be oranges apples but I like to think of equipment lists in much the same way that I view on-line classifieds. For the latter I use eHam, QTH.com, etc. and find all to be useful. Would it make it easier if I only had to search for gear on one list? Well, sure, just as it would be easier if I only had to watch one Drake List for info of interest. But the big plus side of multiple equipment lists is analogous to multiple Wanted/For Sale lists: When *I* want to ask a question (just as when I want to sell a piece of gear) I reach a much wider audience by using more than one list. So, I'm willing to put up with some glitches or delays on equipment lists just as I'm willing to put up with (occasionally annoying) differences in format search techniques on classified lists. Nothing is ever perfect (and as far as Wanted/For Sale lists are concerned I don't *EVER* want to go back to QST Classifieds or monthly yellow sheets or any of that stuff. On-line is so much more efficient it isn't even funny). And BTW: Thanks, Garey, for all you have done and do for the Drake aficionados.

Personally, I'm thankful there are folks with enough energy, intelligence, interest, and time to run lists. And, I can't thank Garey enough for the expertise he continually shares regarding Drake equipment. Without his help, most of my Drake gear would still be broken. Multiple lists don't bother me a bit and if they did, unsubscribing is very easy. I regularly and easily drop off lists that no longer interest me, that prove to have no traffic, or send spam .

[Drakelist] Drake 2B crystal prices
Just as an FYI, the following web page allows one to calibrate current pricing against what things used to cost: _http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm_ (http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm) In 1962, Drake sold 2B accessory crystals for $5.00 each (per the 2B manual). There is no mention of a shipping charge although there may have been one (postage). Using the calculator above, the 2010 equivalent price per crystal is $36.09 plus shipping. The fact that the actual base price for said crystals today seems to run between $16 - $25 each probably reflects improved efficiency in the manufacturing process. It is also worth remembering that Drake's original $5 price may have reflected an economy of scale if they ordered them in quantity, whereas we today are ordering them (if from a crystal manufacturer) specially made, one at a time. Had the latter been the case in 1962 they *might* have cost more than $5 each, which might make today's typical price all the more attractive since the 2010 equivalent of the 1962 one-off manufactured price would be somewhat higher than the $36 estimate noted above. So, IMHO today's prices are quite reasonable. Paul, K4MSG ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

[Drakelist] OT: R-4 # 727
Assuming it still exists, someone out there has R-4 s/n 727. I was the original owner (purchased in 1964, sold in 1979 or thereabouts). I am also the one who reamed a spinner depression in the tuning knob (also assuming it still has the original knob). This radio has an interesting history. For 4 years (1964-68) it was installed in the ET shop of USS BELMONT (AGTR-4), a U.S. Navy intelligence ship. It thus traveled to South America (3 times including one circumnavigation), Africa (both coasts), and out into the south-central Pacific. In 1969 it traveled with me to Morocco and remained there until we returned to the U.S. in 1971. It also lived on the Outer Banks of NC from 1972-73. I have many interesting photos of this radio: Aboard ship; in a quonset hut in Kenitra, Morocco; in use as a downlink receiver with OSCAR-6 OSCAR-7; as the back end of a 6m/2m SSB/CW station. If you have the radio and want copies of the pix, email me. Not many radios have traveled so far around the world. 73 DE K4MSG ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] Low power tuning
It is the tuning and drive that heats up tubes. When you turn down the drive the power you are using is determined by accuracy of your meters or Bird watt meter into load. You can use a dummy load that is 50 ohms or so to figure your power off the air. I like using noise bridges when I can. 73, Ron, K0IC On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 9:36 PM, Kris Merschrod k...@merschrod.net wrote: Good evening All, Well, for years I was a QRP nut and all I had was my TR-4CW.
