I would have sent you a like new tube for the cost of shipping. I picked up an Ameritron AL-811 for about half the cost of a new. I pulled all the 811s out and put new 572B tubes in it and it is now very happy.

This bad boy should keep you warm on these cold winter nights since it uses 10 GE Electronic FL 188-5. The ad states that is basically the same configuration as the Golden Falcon. I have never used or for that matter ever seen a Golden Falcon, in my CB day I used only D&A amplifiers and back...

The ham wife and I will be making the journey from the Midwest again this year. I was there when the stinky little mishap happened as well and I looked and looked and never saw a canoe or a paddle as that stank oozed by.

I have the ensemble RX and in the process of building the Ensemble II TXRX which will be my project as soon as the last cataract comes off next week.

daytime conditions have been varied for the last week with a couple of day during the mid-week where it was not worth turning the radio on. The other thing I am noticing in the north country is that as soon as the sky turns dark 20 meters is gone till the greyline stuff arrives the next...

There are many guides on the Internet, but this one is really simple and easy to understand and done in sort of a cartoon format. If you can get past the elementary type drawings the information provided is very helpful for both full sized components as well as SMD (Surface Mounted Devices)...

I am using the Yaseu FT-950 with IF-2000 demodulator board and LP Pan Pan Adapter which I really like because you have the best of both worlds. You have the Display which show a large chuck of real estate on whatever band you are tuned to, but you also have the knobs to turns and buttons to...

I spent about 10 yrs working security at the grandstands at the Iowa State Fair and I usually worked the main gate to the infield which is where all the guest parked their trucks and vans or the main stage. I had the chance to meet a number of big name country recording stars and almost most of...

I have been extremely lucky in the people I have been able to talk since getting my license in 197. The one that I hold the highest on the list is JY1 King Hussein of Jordan who is a silent key now. A couple of others are Barry Goldwater - K7UGA and the country singer Ronnie Milsap WB4KCG...

What is the price for one of these amps?

the other line I just love seeing is "unable to test the unit". But if you check their history they have sold countless pieces of ham gear but they also got them all from an estate. Translated it means it is a piece of junk and it will never work in your wildest dreams.

the reason if I was to guess why you never see them is because they work great and sound even better on CW with no chirps at all.

I had owned one of these and sold it and of course the day afterwards I regretted it. So when this one came available I had to have it. It is 5-bands CW only with an output of 7 to 10 watts depending on the band. It also has the add-on keyer and digital display added. Here is the link to the...

best wishes to all those affected, be safe and don't be foolish. I have only experienced tornadoes and mother nature is a not a very forgiving mistress.

to sell you a new tri-band mostly aluminum antenna should be wearing a mask and holding a gun. I just checked the current spot prices on aluminum per pound and this is what it looks like. 6063 is 60 cents a pound and 6061 is .50 cents a pound. So now lets compare a new Mosley TA-33-M that...

I am wondering if you are close to an AM broadcast station I had a similar thing happens years ago and it turned out to be a harmonic that I was hearing. I can't even remember how the radio engineer explained how it would happen but it had something to do with a corrosive connection on the...

Am I the only one that feels that the current system of contesting is flawed? Here is why I say that, I did a survey of the the top scores over the course of about 7 years and that was looking not only at high power but low power and QRP as well. The next part is not very scientific but I...

I am selling a mint (less than 6-months old) Yaseu FT-950 complete with all the items that came with it when I purchased it. I am also including the IF-2000 board and LP Pan panadapter and finally the EMU 0202 USB sound controller. With this setup you will be able to use the radio normally or...

Nice job Tim. As much free advertising as you give Elecraft tell them to pony up one of those radios for a board contest. It would make all of us happy, and would draw more folks to the forum.

I had the Hallicrafters SX-140 receiver which was a radio my father-in-law made while he worked at Hallicrafters after the war. Then I got the HT-40 transmitter while I was at Dayton and paid $100.00 for it. Then I found the matching speaker and HA-5 VFO on QTH.com for $110.00 I had the...
