Russian Hams often hang around 14.200 Mc give or take a few Kcs. I've heard a few on 10 meters over the years, but most of them hang out on the aforementioned section of 20 meters. These folks usually have really good signals, so you should be successful at picking them up. They are on USB...

The Soviets were definitely masters of shortwave technology. Their 7-10 Mc over the horizon radio system at Chernobyl put out a signal that could be heard over most of the earth 24 hours a day. Man, it took a really good noise blanker to do anything with that "woodpecker" signal. It would...

Maybe, but they do actually seem to be out of the shortwave business as of yesterday. Links: http://www.eham.net/articles/32030 Shortwave Central: Last two broadcast days for Voice of Russia The Russian shortwave service was around for a long time - I think since the start of the...

That's a shame. However, their transmissions ceased being very interesting to me after the Soviet Union went under.

I did some poking around on the dark recesses of the Internet and think that I've found the mod. I'll post it, here, in case someone else runs across one of these amplifiers. 1. Remove the cover screws, then take off the top cover. 2. Remove knobs - this requires an appropriate hex wrench...

B&W PT-2500A 10 Meter Mod I acquired one of these amplifiers the other day, and am really impressed with it. However, it has not had the 10 meter modification performed, yet. Do any of you guys know what is required? I understand that B&W once supplied this information to licensed Hams, but...

Up for sale is a DX 500 that I bought new a couple of years ago. It works as it should, and is in very good condition as it has never been used mobile or abused in any way. ***Edit to mention added feature : It has 4 holes in the heatsink (two on each side at the front of the heatsink) for an...

I use Ballistol on my Palstar's rollers. It keeps tarnish from forming and provides some lubrication. I regularly run 1200 + watts SSB/ 300+ AM through it with no problems such as heating, arcing, etc. Just my 2-cents and what works for me..

It was 95 in MS, today. I don't see how the "ancestors" could stand living down here with no AC...

There's some activity on repeaters in this area (Jackson MS). However, I hear a lot more local activity on the 40M and 75M bands. It seems folks would rather talk "direct" instead of going through equipment belonging to a third-party. I know I do. Of course I hang out on 160M, and there are...

Well, it looks like I counted the diode order wrong. After I realized my mistake, I removed D49, and that unlocked the TX.

I picked up an IC-7200 the other day, and I'm very happy with it. However, I need to open it up so I can use it with my Ten Tec 2 meter transverter which requires me to go to 32 Mc to cover the whole 2 meter band. Being I like to run 2 meter AM on 146.520, this is important to me. None of...

Wow!

Ballistol dilluted 10:1 with distilled water. It works well and won't harm anything except dirt, and is non-toxic. It can be used full strength to clean contacts, coax connectors, etc. If you cut yourself, it can be used on a bandage as an antiseptic. Best stuff I've ever used!

Look forward to seeing it!
