Very unscientific Brian. After Jim's initial or second post, I just went
to the member's list and did a search and count on W5's, K5's, KA5's,
WA5's, WB5's, and N5's. But as K5MYJ pointed out in another post, some of
those could have been located in other parts of the country. Also, no way

The only stations I ever hear on 3870 are the SSB'ers. They are on most of

Good try Pete. I have made posts to several forums as you
data indicates. Many of my queries or posts are ignored as

There are many good silent people there mostly because of

Thanks Bill. I think I'll just go with the 1 RPM for now and if I ever run
across a 2 RPM I'll swap it out. The extra 30 seconds would only allow the

I have been unable to find a 2 RPM Synchron motor for the timing delay on
the old GE BT-20-A I am bringing back to life. I can find plenty 1 RPM,
however. Other than taking a full minute to allow B+ to be activated
instead of 30 seconds, I can see no reason why it wouldn't serve the same
purpose.
