Hello All: Ok Iam seeing or even hearing that this a manual for the General Radiotelephone M12 in the hole world! The diagram schematic for the MC11A is the closest thing out there. Theres plenty of two tube plate modulator circuits out there, so one can see hows its done and make MC12 updated...

Hello Nomadradio: How much you asking? I rebuilt one of those yeah.... Jay in the Grate Mojave Desert

Good going Steve Huff, a great accomplishment. But the electric cars leave a little of the good ol days behind. No loud engine noise with the aroma of burnt gas, all the Honeys hanging around, all the racing going on in the parking lot after the main drag races. The racing impression it leaves...

Hello 226 Texas: Yes I do, I talked to a bunch of stations that day. I sometimes can hear stations barley coming over the noise and some AM Stations that seem to annoyed by SSB stations. Jay in the Grate Mojave Desert, CH 16 27.155 Mc 889 in the Mojave

WOW! Channel 16 LSB sounding like old times. Went out to the Advanced State of the Art Facility, umm the garage, turned on all the radio apparatus's, takes a while for everything to get all warmed. Listening in as working I heard many SSB LSB stations talking, on CH16, 27.155 Mc LSB. This is...

Hello UR336: That sounds like a neat project. How are to feeding - matching it to the twin lead. Antennas Tuner? Do Tell please. Jay in the Grate Mojave Desert ....... just down the road ah ways from Miss Dinah's fillin station

Well it appears the 5 element beam needs to be put back up. After 20years up it needed repair and clean up. This is a Crusader 10K 5 element yagi beam antenna, with up dates and make look pretty so it works better. I mostly used it make contacts with South pacific island stations. Now Hong Kong...

Thats a great contact, way to go. Out here in the So Ca Mojave Desert I have heard Japanese, I think fishing boats probably near Japan. Hearing a Deslie engine in the back ground audio of there transmissions at a constant RPM makes me think it was a fishing boat. I called several times but no...

Yeah throwing a little more power to the tower switch to ON, is needed as there's quit a bunch of stations bleeding over from17 and even 15, not to mention some high Power boys on 16. I made just two contacts the other day and had some guy on 16 AM go coo coo for coocooo puffs cussing at me and...

Get better Eddie, prayers sent. Jay in the Grate Mojave Desert. LSB Ch 16, 27.155 Mc

Hello All: Anything can be modified, but it sure is taking the long long way to get there. That modification is just plan not practical. Cheaper, easier, and way less hair pulling would be to use a inexpensive scanner radio. Keeping an ear on the weather is a great help. I know got caught in a...

Yeah I might fire up the tube rig and give a yell Jay in the Grate Mojave Desert 889

Hello all: The trick thing with stacked vertical beams is setting up phasing coax switch that can switch the beams in phase or 180 degrees out of phase. The in phase mode the beams work normally. But out of phase you have only the gain of one antenna, but you will have significant null -30 to...

Hello. It appears to be a Hy-Gain 4element beam antenna, what band or frequency don't know. The driven element is electrically isolated from the boom. Which may not allow the duel gamma matches work. The original matching system was a hair pin matching system. You can see the hair pin in the...
