    OK Doc. Please post a link to a current Part 97 CFR rule which specifies mode bandwidth using numbers or even remotely suggesting a measurement technique to prove compliance. Teh thanks.

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    I'm still waiting to hear where Part 97 states BANDWIDTH "attenuation factors." Hams are supposed to measure this? They can't even look up the rules properly.

    Gizmotchy 2 Meter 4 Element Beam Review

    Some stainless hardware like the stuff Home Depot sells galls when you try to take it apart. Just as useless as a rusted piece only more dangerous because you have to fight with it up in the air. Try building an M-Squared 2 meter antenna. Lots of measurement and hand assembley. VERY time...

    75 Ohm 2200 Mhz RG-6 TV Coax

    Not to mention is has losses similar to coax, not open wire line. Run it with high SWR and watch power go bye bye.

    Question About Using AM mode on HF

    The bands are loaded with poor operators on all modes. Dunno where all those AM guys who don't know about their upper sideband are. I hope I never find out. I suggest you might want to let these guys know about this on the air.

    Identify this rig from "The A-Team"

    They also made a matching VFO for the 520 which was different than the one for the 520S.

    AF/RF Signal Generator: Which one?

    My vote for sig gen is the HP-8640B. They can be had on ebay for a little over $100.00 if you are patient. There's even a complete maintenance page for these on the internet. I had some really high quality antique sig gens and the HP runs circles around them.

    AF/RF Signal Generator: Which one?

    Unfortunately. Try setting up an analog TV modulator. Same fun.

    For those of you that climb.

    Most every antenna at Empire has a backup which can be used while workers do their thing. Almost all antenna work is done overnight now.

    the new Copper forum?

    I was waiting to see if the Jizz Motchey would keep up with a Moonraker. Then I'd like to read another dozen posts saying it's stronger in an ice storm by people who have never owned one.

    proper deadkey to swing ratio for AM operation ?????

    4:1 is correct for sinusoidal modulation which happens in the lab. Real audio usually isn't a sinewave. Another glaring error found in publications from an anti AM group in Newington.

    proper deadkey to swing ratio for AM operation ?????

    The answer depends on the waveform, distortion tolerance and measurement devices.
