I worked Belgium today. 20 meter contesting went nuts.

I made contact for the first time to Andy, RV3FF, in Korolev, RUSSIA. That was cool. My little 100 watt station and a G5RV in the tree. Bob.

In the pictures of the factory, It looks like LG moved the old manufacturing plant to China and reopened it using all of the old equipment.

I have a Skipper 300 and I would like to run it on 20/40 meters. Will the amp tune for those bands or will I have to install an inductor coil with a band switch. (8950 tubes), My tester will not check the 8950s so I don,t know which is bad. I have a Knight tester.

I wonder if the amp will support a ceramic type of tube.? Take out 4 and install 1. Just a thought.

I am looking into replacing the tubes in a amp that is running the 8950. 1x3. What tube would be a drop in or something else. Maybe replacing the 4 with 2? Just something to kick around. Bob.

I was going to build an amp using a transformer from a old tube type color tv. I just need to find what it will do. It is a big and heavy transformer. Winter time project.

SmackDown; geezzz, If you want to run that kind of power, why don't you do legal. Get your ticket and get off the chicken band. Just my opinion I may be wrong.

I copied this article from the AARL web site. Any Opinions? HF Amplifiers versus Antennas—One Ham’s Opinion Think you need a shiny new linear amplifier to chase away your HF radio blues? Think again. What you probably need is a better antenna! Here’s why.... By Kirk A. Kleinschmidt...

Does that amp need a foot peddle to operate it.

If you walk around an antenna which is radiating 2k and your close enough you will get burned one way or another. next time you feel the urge do it with a meter. Depending on the frequency is how long it will take for you to go bald or things start dropping of lol. This is why there are rf...

A penetrator base antenna

Because I want to build my antennas and I just happened to have this on hand. This is what ham radio is about, building your own antennas and making them work. :lol:

Has anyone ever converted a 10 meter omni base antenna to a 6 meter base antenna? I think it would make a wicked 6 meter base, any ideas. ^)(
