Glad the vacuum cap isn’t too expensive. Probably be a bit much with shipping. Im in over my head. Maybe i can do a fixed frequency. I have just the frequency in mind too. A guy that jams up the airwaves 24/7. He’s really far away. Itd be so cool to finally make contact. Local doesn’t count to me.
I really like my SDR rig but i won't give up my old superhet rigs. I have two fantastic old Kenwood TS-850s rigs ,talk about morse machines! I have all the mechanical filters in one of them, and they still hold their own against modern rigs...
There is printed on a A4 paper something like used on a BC 221 frequency meter giving the frequency read out for the HRO. Some time ago I found the chart on the net published by a G4??? but it seems to have been taken down.
Thanks for posting! I just bought a Lightning Bug from the 50’s or 60’s from the son of a Silent Key. Looking forward to building an oscillator to practice it!
Well WTF! I was unsubscribed from your channel! I love 160 and I run a 700' loop that is currently up about 50' in the air. It works pretty well for reliable communication with most of the central USA. I am located right in the center of the country pretty much. My dream is to get a dipole up at least 200' in the air for a dx antenna as I don't really want to put a ton of copper in the ground. 73, KF0BBU.
My friend has a FT-710 and i listened to his audio on AM mode, but the quality isn't good. Can you show the menu settings to achive a good quality as you shown on this video?
Did not see one piece of fire fighting equipment or did i miss that? You must have a lot of confidents in starting and engine that has mot been run decades. Oops did some fire bottles on the ground to the right. When was the last time they had maintenance on them and tanged. 3 nasty bottles most likely not serviceable, at 6:46
I understood that the 'B' set had to be decomissioned before they could have been sold as surplus. Looking at adverts in old magazines shows this too. I was told this by the late & legendary Nev Kirk, G3JDK. The B set was what they called UHF back then & this set covered 229Mhz to 241Mhz, which as you know isn't an amateur band in the UK.

Did you move the GU50s around to different sockets to see if the red glow traveled with the valve or if any GU50 in that socket glows red? That's the first troubleshooting step, to make sure there isn't a problem with that socket or that channel's wiring. ;)
Where do you get this crap? This uses AM modulation onto a pentode grid. Will need to set 50% power with negative bias on 3 grid then it works cleanly.
Could something like this be achieved with larger ceramic piezo transducers? I found some of them working at around 2Mhz. I see here you're using 8.2Mhz... I'm curious to try this concept on something larger like a garden hose
I'm pleased to see how you've set the horizontal and vertical scan amplitudes (a reasonable compromise for the screen shape). But back in the day, sets were always set to overscan - no black visible at all - which always irritated me, as I'd rather have a (slightly) smaller picture but at least see all of it!
