My CE-20A and HQ-145 are certainly Vintage, Why did you (they) exclude SSB? Ron H -- This outgoing email was scanned by Norton Antivirus Corp. Edition and found to be virus free!__ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio

This is a new discovery? AFAIK this has been the way it has always been. A lot of the radios used in the Heavy Metal Rally have been traditionally commercial broadcast radios converted to the Amateur Radio Bands. Also the re-use of Military Surplus equipment as the BC-610. An in-depth

I guess it is what it is. I just thought it might be fun to use the CE-20A on SSB because on AM it won't get very far Maybe I'll just have to use CW. Thanks Bob! Ron H -- This outgoing email was scanned by Norton Antivirus Corp. Edition and found to be virus

The CE20 setup does not qualify on SSB and would only qualify on AM if it had the weight limit which I believe is over 800 lbs. The CE20 as an AM driver to a BIG AMP would qualify. You will hear lots of great AM signals with up to 5 KW McMartin and RCA rigs on. 500 watts almost does not make it .

Ron, IF you find a way to make it meet the rules - a rig weighing 250 pounds or running at least 250 watts - then join the free for all. It is simply what the rules have been. I could NOT participate UNTIL I procured a BC-610. It really has nothing to do with vintage, as it can be a

I see it happen sometimes. I don't know what causes it. It is most likely a mis-routing that occurs somewhere, and we get dupes. Bob - NoDGN BILL GUYGER wrote: Am I the only one who is getting 2 or 3 copies of each of these posts? Not that I mind it, my delete key works jest fine, but it

Wikipedia: Bummer = An expression of disappointment... I think you all misunderstood! I wasn't complaining about the rules, just thought it was a bummer that I couldn't play on SSB. I guess if I really want to play, I'll fire up the R390 and T3. As a station, they might be on the low end of

Actually, If you use the 20A to drive a linear amplifier, such as the Johnson Thunderbolt, you would have a quite substantial AM signal, at about 350 watts of carrier. In the CW mode the power output, can exceed 500 watts, just a matter of how you are set up for the Event. I use mine, when I can
