    Old radio shack base antenna

    I found in my stash (forgot i still have it) a bluish green 1/2 wave radio shack crossbow antenna. Does anyone know anything about it? IIRC the last time i tested it it had a mediocre match on 11 meters...

    Pushing one linear to another

    Yeah a big amp like a sb 220 or the like need at least 100 watts to drive them to full output.

    I have seen sweep tubes in amps last that long too. These "techs" tell you sweep tubes are bad when most of the tubes are older than I am and will last if you take care of them.

    I've had all kinds of sweep tube amps over the years and never had issues with them "blowing up" or failing. Just drive it conservatively and you'll be okay......

    Tube Amp adjustment.

    I had one once but it was modified and someone took out four of the tubes and rewired it to use 31lq6 tubes. It never worked right so I sold it for parts. I still have the tubes. I kept them.

    Tube Amp adjustment.

    Don't drive those amps with a high power radio. 2 or 3 am and about 10 to 12 on Dan is about it

    Didn't they also make a super scout too? I remember hearing that name in the early 1990s around my area from the old guys.
