I had that 3 element beam back in 1977, had JC Penney Pinto SSB 23 channel and a one tube kicker...with a D-104, of course

How about WDX-456, Arkansas USA, Del, SideShifter, for me?

Was just on LSB38 and it was jumping. Talked to Virginia and Pittsburgh. Things was rather rough there and some idiot called himself gladiator, talking stupid and nasty. He needs a pin in his coax.

Is the WDX Roster limited to Ham operators, or anyone?

Good reading..

I been doing some reading on here about the WDX thing, and I see there is already a 2112 in MO. I downloade the exel spreadsheet and see that 456 is available. I will stop using the 2112 and if 456 is still available i would like to sign up as Del, N.E. AR, WDX-456. Not sure where this post...

LSB 16 was jumpin tonight. Wasn't there long. Enjoyed checking in with 515. Made contact with 220 N Georgia, briefly on LSB 38, but it was rough there. 73s 2112

Sounds right to me, thanks.

Yea I had a card file box. Come across it back some 17yrs back while doing some cleaning after my mom passed. Didn't think enough of it to keep it. That was from the mid to late 70s. I still remember my dads camper shell had the KCF 9455 on the back glass and a 108" steel whip on the bumper...

Thanks for making me think here. Looks like both 10uf 450v caps are bad. These are 1950 version, so, new ones can be expected to be a little smaller in physical size, correct? I see them on Amazon and are smaller.

KCF9455 Freebird

Well, I have to admit to you. I changed meters and 75w pep, it is.

This has a 6JU6, which is what the schematic (that I downloaded) shows ot should be. I googled it and it says to be a Beam Power Tube. Sounds good to me. It is definitely antique/vintage and shows about the same wattage as the TX-75 does (on my scrappy meter of course). Seems like I heard one...

I an going to start a Kris 300m thread for this. Thanks 2112

You are probably correct on the meter. I thought that was too much also. I figured that would get a faster response than just asking about it.LOL. I was thinking that is what the "75" is about. While on the subject, what should a Kris 300, 2 tube put out?

I made good contact this morning with Virginia, had to get back to weed eating. Gonna try again as I get back at it. Cheers 2112

I found a Palomar DX-75 at a flea market for $20USD, works great, My elcheapo meter shows somewhere around 150-175W with my Cobra 139XLR and D-104 mic.

had one of these back in 1977

Looks like LMR400 is the way to go for long coax
