I don't know about the Pacific NW but there is lots of SSB activity

Now, THAT is a real man's tuner!
Perfect match for the transmitter that has a tube with handles!

Ha! ... many do seem to thunk, don't they?
The Brownings had a capacitor that caused the receiver to mute slowly so
each transmission was preceded by brief audio feedback. A popular mod was to
install a DPST center off toggle so you could switch between two different

I seem to remember that about 20 years ago some folks were converting 23
channel CB rigs to use on 10 meters (by legal hams, of course). I think they
were just changing four of the xtals in the xtal synth circuit and ending up
with 23 channels in the 10 meter band. At the time I think there was so

I sure would like to see some pics of your homebrew receiver, and hear some
more about it's design (tube lineup, if strip, audio section, etc). I have

accessories and surplus mods, but no receivers. Did you design it yo

Thanks! Very cool ... I will listen to them again tonight on the ham shack
