Well, im not saying that one way or the other. They tune, they work, they are safe with big watts. I am happy he still is around. Its cool because hes been doing this for decades and hes a piece of the old school.

Hey everyone. I was able to answer my own question through a friend of mine. He's really old now and he's still kicking but he hasn't been building a lot. But if anybody needs his stuff he still got stuff. I'm glad to see another person didn't get claimed by time. His number is 1 (716)...

Anyone know if Lee is still in business/ building antennas?

Why mess with it?

Maco v5000, shockwave, colossal, mr coily, or any metal sirio antenna

There are alot of ideas here ad none of them good. Alot of bad information from people who are poking their chests out acting smart. A single antenna that is not loaded with a shunt to ground especially in the middle of a roof will always tune to about 1.6-1.3:1 usually around 37 ohms. Move...

I've heard of this pin diode switching thing before, can you show me a schematic of how this actually works? I'd love to learn

Someone was at bullets house

On broadbanded solid state type amplifiers yes.

Please take my money.. lol

I was told a story about a Cobra 29, you were able to broadcast on every channel simultaneously. It's just a goof. Is it as simple as making the pll unlock? Will the radio still function on receive? How would one modify a Cobra 29 to do this?

People obsess about the color of their plates in the tubes. There's nothing wrong with the tube getting red it's supposed to. Its when they get white you need to worry

Ah shit. I liked him

usually when guys lose a tube that diode pops. usually explodes actually. Ive replaced a few myself. that and a new set of tubes fixes most of them. assuming ameritron actually soldered all the other stuff..

tbh, i never realized it was actually a dead short. I just always noticed it showed 0v. I always did it with a meter and a power strip with a nice on/off switch. quick flip, nothing, reverse leads, try again.

If you hook up two transformers out of phase you get 0v when you turn them on . Its then a simple matter to swap leads, and then label them. Alternatively, just rectify both transformers separately and combine the dc.

They always seem to perform fantastic locally

And just to be clear I'm not saying that any coax length fixes your SWR.

I mean, thats kind of loaded statement dont you think? The difference in measurement is easily seen with different length coaxes, especially if they are at weird multiples. Especially if you are looking into, say , the input tuning network of an amplifier. Im not saying youre wrong, but you are...
