I have a one tube driving 3 tube Firebird 500 tube amp. My amp has a sideband delay, low and high. It does 500 watts on sideband and about 350 to 400 on am. Interested?

Freecell, I used to drive this 16 pill with a 500 watt deadkey on the driver and let it swing. The Firebird deadkeys about 250 watts and swings to 350 or 400 watts. It has 1 6me6 driving 3 6me6 tubes. I can't find the specs for those tubes. I ran the 16 in my mobile for two years untill i...

Well I already tried it and it runs the 16 pill great. My only problem is keeping the 16 fed which i have a plan.The other thing I have been trying to find out before i drop the hammer is how many watts is an m105c antenna rated at. I can't find that info anywhere. Maco doesnt specify on their...

Do you think it is possible to drive a 16 pill mobile amp with an A/C tube box? I was thinking of using a bank of batteries for the 16 pill at 18 volts and hook up my 200 amp battery charger. The A/C box is a Firebird 500. I can probably just use 12 volts instead of 18 volts. I just want to...

cb radio and hams I for one like cb frequencies because they are fun and amusing. I started on CB and I consider it another set of frequencies I have to use. I personally think there is nothing wrong with using a little power or even 4000 watts pep for that matter, but the problem is that you...

Just what is a Bird slug made of. Does anyone know what a slug actually does in the Bird socket?

The best Mic I heard is a syncron base mike. It gives that low full rich sound on SSB as well as AM. Also they are really priced right. I tried the Heil but was unable to attain decent audio levels. When I called Heil they said I had to have an audio preamp. I was using the Heil on a Yaesu 101b...

Magna Force 600 all the way! I kinda regret getting rid of my Magna Force 900.

Poor guys! Didnt know what they were in for. Nothing wrong with a bit of constructive critisism....right?

I have a Cobra 146 GTL that I brought back from the dead. It had a bad solder connection at the power switch. It does about 10 watts pep and about 20 watts pep on SSB. Sounds like the regulator could be having some problems, maybe not? I have wired a diesel power mike and get great modulation...

I had a QSO with karol once. To me it was a thrill since I was new on the air and enjoying my General priveledges. I listen to him sometimes when i am working on my radios in the shack. Funny stuff. Kinda like one of those sitcoms on TV playing in the background. I don't know how he gets away...

Project on hold. Had a death in the family. Be back as soon as everything calms down.

Freecell that looks like an antenna that I can build. I think I might try. Easy and not too fancy. I like 20 meters the best. I think I'll go with the reflector driven setup. Another Question. I am using a 1:1 current Balun to feed the drive element. Is that OK to use or does the impedance...

let me get the full specs tomorrow it's getting late I'll post them tomorrow that way you'll know more about what i"m working with.

antenna I found this to be a good read. I like how it has a parts list. This antenna has been scaled down in size. I already have my full size elements and a 20 ft boom. Although I might try the smaller antenna I would like to finish the full size beam first, since I have gone this far. Oh I am...

Ok I'm building a two element 20 meter full size beam. I can't find the spacing of the elements. One element is the driver the other a director. I think the spacing is about 13ft. Is that correct? I almost hate to ask on this forum but I just need some more information.

thanks I was driving with 3 watts and getting about the same numbers. I made a nice contact yesterday on 10 meters. That was the best i've heard 10 meters.

I have a Firebird 500 amp. I was wondering if anyone has one and how many watts is it supposed to put out. I also need to know what deadkey to put into it. I use mine on SSB for ten meters. I looked at the tubes once but i forgot what tubes are in there.

Here is a website I found http://home.ptd.net/~n3cvj/moonraker.htm
