    11 meter is very quiet?

    I've been hanging on channel 20 AM side when 38LSB is quiet or when it becomes a train wreck. I can pretty much talk anywhere I can on SSB. Peeps all over hang on 20 for some reason.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Got my 5 element up on the tower, finally. Just waiting for mother nature. Talked on Saturday morning (38LSB) and had all the boys up north in a dizzy. 20-25 S units into Michigan, Vermont, Penn, and the Badger on the flat side. I'm hanging on 20 AM most of the time when the skip isn't...

    LOOKING FOR A "VFO" FOR THE MADISON

    Sure, Sonar. The external VFO's are in a white colored enclosure. Not black. That is how I got them from Ralph. Does your friend also need the daughter board that solders in to where the factory PLL is located on the radios main board? Or does he have that already? I have to look back to see if...

    LOOKING FOR A "VFO" FOR THE MADISON

    I'm sure I have a half dozen of those external and internal VFO's that Ralph made. I believe it was for the 8719 PLL. I bought a lot of his stuff back in the day and still have stock on many items, I have the one in the video and the other type is mounted on the actual counter board. The...

    Texas Star Modulator -no transmit

    I have the one using the 2sc2290. The signal passes thru the amp when it is off and the signal does not pass thru when the amp power is on. You were sounding awesome coming into my receive the other day. You were walking the locals here...lol

    Texas Star Modulator -no transmit

    Picked up one of these modulators. The relay works when I key the radio into it but I get absolutely no power output. I have tried 2 to 4 watts input drive to the amp The receive pre-amp button works and amplifies the receive, so the transistor is ok. ..just no power out. The variable pot on...

    PAL Electronics 600+ tube amp

    Cool. Thank you for all your inputs. lol....Maybe I should put this amp on the back burner just for now. I have already re-capped the amp, LC. I thought that this would be a nice amp for my set of mark III's. I see it's kind of a odd ball amp the way it is laid out. But your all right in it...

    PAL Electronics 600+ tube amp

    I had this amp given to me for some work I performed. I wouldn't mind re-doing this amp but I cannot find any info on the net about it. I would like to know what tubes it uses, It only had one tube in it when I got it. Thanks.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Old 75 and Wolfman were stirring the pot on ch 20 am this afternoon from the Bam. We were talking everywhere from Florida up to NYC, Philly, Jersey and Michigan.
