Hi Don,
Why not videotape an interview with this great OT and post it somewhere
where we can all enjoy it. I have seen several similar interviews and they
are really great.

Hi All,
I finally scored a 1544 adapter so I can use my RV-75 with the R7 and TR7 in
transceive. I will FINALLY have my 7 Line Twins, hi.
That said, I will sell my Misty Hollow Enterprises RB7501 DDS VFO. It will
allow you to use it on the R7 by itself, the TR7 by itself, or both in
transce
And, as always, my snide comment was tongue FIRMLY planted in the cheek. Don't
check out too early Chuck. I have a good friend in Richardson, TX, K5AY, in
his 90's and you don't want to either challenge him to an electronic or antenna
question, or challenge him to a CW speed run. He WILL win
Meant to add, QCWA, 45 years.

Of course this was only tongue-in-cheek. I plan on checking out in 2025,
long before I get to my 90's.

If they were Sylvania, Chuck, you probably could, but GE's? I don't know
about that. I think that's one of the brands that sometimes won't neutralize.
I may be wrong, and it may be RCA, but some of them don't seem to make it.

I'll never again buy vacuum tubes off of the internet, after buying from a
regular "store" on the auction site two "matched" 6JB6s, both soft as
pillows and useless above 40M. Of course, everything there is always
"as-is". I'll also never buy anything from a big tube seller in Florida who

I have a matched pair (GE) from RF Parts I got maybe 10 years ago, packed in
a wooden salt cod box. Counting on the sale proceeds to fund my retirement
when I get to my 90's :)

The same date code doesn't have much to do with matching, Richard, but they
probably are close. There is a proceedure used for matching, but you'd have to
have a basketfull of them to use it anymore. Drake original tubes have a
number written on top of them in magic marker. I've been lucky en
There is a write up from Bill Frost on Drake's final matching procedure,
and Bill's recommendations on how we should be doing it, on N9BOR's Drake
website, _http://www.qsl.net/n9bor/drake.htm_
(http://www.qsl.net/n9bor/drake.htm) . It is worth a look.

Hi Eddy,
It's the identical tube with the supressor grid internally connected.
I've used them in several Drake Xmtrs with fine results. Others have
reported difficulty with neutralization...but I've never seen that. The
specs as I recall, were not close, they were identical.

At
Sylvania 6JB6's are on ebay, eham and QRZ normally for $25.00 each. I
believe if the tubes have the same date code they are matched.

Thanks for the info on 6jb6 vs. 6JB6A. I have seen a few 6JB6 of both
varieties on line, often advertised as MATCHED. I wonder how they have
matched them as some have listed an emmisson only tube tester as the match
unit. I am very leary of these so called matched tubes! Even the ones from
