Qso en CW con el amigo Fernando EA4BB, usando como transmisor el indestructible Collins ART-13 y como receptor el Collins 51J-4. Sin lugar a dudas una buena combinacion.
Back in the 1950's ART-13 a new or next to new ART was like $25-$35. They were a step up from command sets. But as kids were quickly learned that ART'S had The AM Radio band. So we all got a long wire, threw it up a tree and when our fathers or uncle's who all had tickets weren't watching, we became the local R&R DJ or get on the air on Sunday and drown out all the preachers....one of my friends used to get on saying he was the voice of evil. Or we would have our own "talk show" about local girl's "attributes" or who's car was faster and inviting/ Instigating street races. All possible through that wonderful ART machine. One guy in our crowd invested a motor driven tuner which caused the His signal to sweep the AM Band so he was everywhere on the band. One time he had neighbors shouting out of windows network style for him to stop. Hey, it's was the 50's and we're normal tech brats, what did you expect some well behaved novice or technician nerds? HaHa.

Tu no eres un radioaficionado, no veo ningún equipo construído por ti. Tienes todo adquirido de razagos del ejercito de los EEUU. Aprende a ser un verdadero radioaficionado y no un radio perillero.
I am in the process of modifying my ART-13 with grid blocked keying to reduce the relay clatter. It's going to be semi break-in but I'm OK with that as a compromise. The relay clutter on a stock ART-13 is so loud that this WWII vintage break-in is useless to me. I have a small 28 VDC inverter package that makes about -130 volts to cut off the tube when RF excitation is not there. It mounts in the space where the LF oscillator would have been installed. The reason for making the blocking bias from the 28 VDC is I don't have to modify the U-7 plug connections.
How do you do. It's amazing Wireless equipent. I completely admire it. I am also scheduled to take a radio exam next month. i'm studying in a hurry right now, but to be honest, I'm about to give up. There are a lot of things to remember, and my head is overheating. There are three subjects in the exam: Radio Law, Radio Engineering, and CW, and I feel that my score has improved slightly. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos. I will also comment from time to time. After subscribing to the channel too…😁😁👍👍 🎌JAPAN🎌 more… Bureau＝JK1ETH
