Jason, Something else you may want for your TX project. And It's FREE!!! I have a brand new blower in a 19" rack mount cabinet. It is an adjustable speed dual squirrel cage type. Let me know if you want it. John - Original Message From: Jason Buchanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Discu

I would like to have a copy of that article; for I found an old homebrew transmitter recently that uses a pair of 807s to modulate an 814. It needs a complete rebuild, and I have not put power to it yet. The bad news is that looks like it has been sitting in a barn for the last 30+ years. The 814 h

I just received a copy of the 12th Radio handbook(1949). After WWII, 160m was given to LORAN for the most part, and you had to go to the pre-war Radio Handbooks to find amps for 160m.In recent days on this reflector, use of 4-65's were discussed.

Brett is on the right path. I have always heard from all my old(er) elmers that it takes two things to work on 160. 1. Power 2 a vertical antenna. This is not to say you won't work anyone in your area with low power, but if you hear someone at a distance, the 200 Watt + carrier can make t

A collection of old handbooks is a great thing to have, both the arrl and the bill orr handbooks. A 6146 modulated by a pair of 6l6's would be nice, 50 watts of carrier, 200 watt pep. You can put a xtal in the grid, or build an osc stage to isolate things a bit. Or buy an old VFO to drive it. Bre

What power level are you thinking about? What features and what is the modulation scheme? I have a bunch of older left coast and ARRL handbooks that may have what you are looking for. I may be able to locate something for you and scan it to you. Greg WA7LYO Kinston NC - Original Message ---
