There is another also. It's called the Classic Exchange...or CX for short.
One weekend for
AM/SSB/FM and the other for CW and held twice a year! Sure...AM and SSB. In
my experience, the
AM portion is very minimally successful. Not many stations on. If someone,

I had KN0FRJ in 1961 to 1962. So, they were at least that old.

Best Heathkit AM Transmitter
The original comment was regarding Best Heathkit AM Transmitter. Best is
a very subjective
term, as we have all seen. References to Vikings and/or Valiants or other
manufacturers digress
from the original comment.
Ive owned many Heathkit AM transmitters. DX
Interesting topic, and many responses. Seems we all have a great deal to be
thankful for.
Here, at KC8JX, I have:
National NC-303 paired with a Heathkit DX-100B (main AM station; NC-303 great
on SSB and CW))
Drake 2C/2CQ paired with a Drake 2NT (Yes, it's for CW but do listen to AM on
the 2C o
FWIW, a poll was sent out to the Great Lakes Division ARRL members on May 1.
In addition the
directors of the Great Lakes division have been available at various hamfest
and will also be at
Dayton (as well as other ARRL folks). Good time to do some politic'ing.

the choke then
closing the choke. Never have rf into the computer speakers now when using any

To all - Everyone to their own taste and experience. Can see reviews of the
same antenna good
and bad (such as on eHam.net); depends upon the environment and many other
factors. As to my
specific situation and my resultsI live in SW Michigan where we get a good
amount of wind,
rain, snow

from RG8X (or larger, but heavier) and if I could use the 8x on down to the
shack it would be much
easier. I'm sure the 8x will withstand the wattage, but I don't want to have
as much loss
in it as I do with the vertical I am trying to replace.

Though I do not have a flea market (outside vendor) space nor an inside exhibit

It seems to me with all the skewering of the ARRL, one item that appears to be
very relevant is
the communication to the members of a division and the reverse and thus to the
board of the ARRL.
I believe I've heard something like "they don't listen to me or there is no

Yes, Mike. 15 is certainly open. Just had a 90 minute QSO with W7ID in

DonFWIW. I believe this antenna was made by Western Radio Electronics in
Kearney, Nebraska...if I remember correctly. I had one in use as a novice back
in Colorado in 1961 as KN0FRJ. It worked on 80, 40 and 15 meters, then worked
OK on 20 when I got my general. Of course that was when I use
Just a clarification."the B model and they used 6146s as modulators in
place of the 1625s"No, the DX-100B also uses 1625's as modulators. The
Johnson Valiant uses 6146's as modulators...do not believe any Heathkit used
6146's as modulators.
