Paid $15 for this one about 25 years ago and still doing all I need it to do.

Very true! More or less a novelty project more than anything else. Also, with the oil. How about a mini deep fryer?

The wife was throwing out some old cookie tins. One of them caught my eye, look and size wise. I have an old MFJ 989C tuner. Purchased for parts years ago. More or less, I have cannibalized over the years for variables, switches and such. The old 75-year-old brain vaguely remembered that the MFJ...

(y) I like it a lot!

Mic plug is going to radio. Not the amp.

Yep! I have been down that road in the past.

Yep 1 watt on dead key, AM. Once you speak into the microphone, clicks stop and power out from the amp. Upped the power to 2 -1/2 watts and no difference. Installed the amp on 2 other rigs and no clicking and full output from amp with 2 watts dead key from both radios. I suspect maybe issues...

Trying to add some 10-meter help, to my old TenTec 509 QRP rig. An extra 50 watts or so can help finish a QSO sometimes. 1 watt input, and clicking, when mic is keyed with amp on. Clicking stops once modulation is started. Slower clicks in SSB and then, rapid fire clicks on AM when mic is keyed...

Wow! That is not a lot of power. Have you contacted Nelson on the issue? From what I have read and heard firsthand, they are very responsive and informative furnishing information.

How much power are you running with the 200 Watt Nelson? I have the same antenna as a sloper and so far so good.

Nothing lasts forever. They did have their niche in the marketplace.

Thanks for the nice comments. Those are older pics. Unfortunately, I lost the Sugar Shack, it is now a She Shed:confused: Putting another operating area in the house. I did have the shack for 15 years though. What is set up now is below.

My own cubby hole from the world.

Thanks for the info.

Interesting rig. Wonder what the little, server power supply is rated at, amp wise?

A 5-volt wall wart might work. Though most are not well filtered. Also as mentioned above, the Swans like the Hi-Z mics.

Thanks Pez. You are correct. On my Autek WM-1, it is about 67 watts Peak Envelope Power. I was not thinking PEP, I was thinking dead carrier power. Just was not thinking on all cylinders that day.
