SOLAR UPDATE Astral aficionado Tad "Sunshiny Day" Cook, K7RA, Seattle, Washington, reports: Might we see a high-bottom minimum at the end of this solar cycle? January had a higher monthly average sunspot number than nine of the previous twelve months. Looking at predicted smoothed sunspot...

In other enforcement matters, the FCC agreed in a January 26 Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) to reduce drastically a $10,000 fine, levied in the case of CB operator-turned-radio amateur Robert A. Spiry, KD7TRB, of Tacoma, Washington. The Commission cited Spiry for unauthorized operation...

Thx for all of the help on this. I bought a FT101EX and it is in great shape for the age with gust a few problems that a good alignment would't cure. It came with two 11 meter crystals in it which I pulled and I will have to order the 10A crystal. I will be looking out for a Kenwood TS830 to...

Does anyone know if this radio can be coverted to 11 meters.

OK, how about this. Which is better the kenwood TS850 or the Yaesu FT101EE :?:

No hurry, It's just my luck, Get a new beam antenna and the radio dies. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I have all of the schematics, the cap checker I have, may be able to check them. I use it to work on antique radios but mostly electrolytics.Its a heathkit. What is the best way to check the ceramic caps?

I forgot to mention, The tubes light and when you load them on 80 meters, the two finals do heat up. I do have high voltage.

I fired up the radio and when I was tuning the radio I herd a pop and the transmit went to 0. The rf I could get is when I loaded it up on 80 meters and that was only about 10 watts. I checked the 6146b tubes and they check out fine and so does the driver tube. The radio will adjust on the bias...

OK YOU CODERS QUIT THE WHINING boo hoo :cry: When I had my ticket, we learned on the straight key. Not the paddles or a computer doing the code for us. The hobby has been DYING a slow death since the 80’s. Look at all of the tickets not being renewed. Ouch. Now that is over look at this in a...

I have an old Kenwood TS520 in moth balls. This will give me a reason to fire it up and keep the tubes warm. With a modern ham radio equipment, even as old as mine, Who needs a amp on any bands. At 100 watts of power that is enough to transmit all over the world. :shock:

The thing I worry about is the 10 meter band becoming another 11 meter band with all of the not heads playing music thinking they are a brodcast station. :twisted:

Well, if you think about it, this should give the hobby a big shot in the arm. I personally have been studying for the Tech license. I have some friends up here that have been on my case to get my ticket back. So I guess I will take the plunge. Maybe even take the old hf gear out of moth balls...
