Re: [AMRadio] HV Wire

I don't have personal experience (and don't want any), but have heard horror stories regarding the use of coaxial cable as high voltage wire. Short answer: Don't do it! Use fresh cable designed for the purpose. If you are willing to experiment with a potentially lethal configuration, at least

Re: [AMRadio] HV Wire

I'm with Bill on this one. Braided copper can be purchased as a sheath for HV lines. Coax, you really don't have a good idea of what the insides look like. Mod-U-Lator, Mike(y) W3SLK I don't have personal experience (and don't want any), but have heard horror stories regarding the use of

[AMRadio] Old memory

Someone please help my poor old, and I do mean OLD, memory. There is a place (web site) that is a big foundation that has an extensive library of operation and service manuals. I bought an RCA manual there some time back. Please, what is the name of the place or the web address? Thanks,

Re: [AMRadio] HV Wire

I bought nice copper-cored spark plug wire at the CarQuest auto parts distributor just last week.I believe it was about $35 for 25 feet wholesale. It was orange in color and fit *exactly* into the Millen HV connector shells - beautiful! Steve WD8DAS

Actually, I need a GE manual, I just remembered getting a RCA from them a while back. I think I already asked you about it, Pete. I'm looking for an operation and service manual or manuals for the GE BT-20-A. My face is gonna be red if I haven't. Rick Peter Markavage wrote: And, at

Re: [AMRadio] HV Wire

Hi All, As a TV broadcast engineer we simply used standard off the shelf picture tube HV wire in a conduit for the 30 kV klystrode HV (up to 10 amps on black picture) AND we used RG-214 for the return (which was a bit above actual ground) also in conduit for the return. This system has been

RE: [AMRadio] HV Wire

Coax works fine for HV leads. I have an 813 amp with around 2500 volts that I have had a piece of rg58 on for years. I have a commercial lab 15Kv supply that has a modified pl259 and rg8 cable coming out of it. Ground the shield and if it should arc it will only arc to ground. 73 Gary K4FMX

Re: [AMRadio] Odd signals in lower 80 meters

If it is a simple scrambling system that works by inverting the audio - making the lower frequencies come out high and vice versa, they could easily be decoded by copying as SSB in the opposite sideband position and offsetting the carrier frequency by whatever the tone frequency in the
