Oh I wouldn't think cleaning out the inside of the amp a bit and swapping a tube would qualify me as any kind of repair person whatsoever lol. Old tube had a chrome effect on the lower 1/4 of glass like the old 6LQ6s etc used to do. No markings left on the tube. Looks like Eimac style but no...

New penta tube installed... making the whiskeys with a LOT less drive. Also have new (old) tuner from a silent key estate sale and unlike the brand new one I bought and had to return, it works great.

Presently on ebay. I had a Marko mobile back in the day.... didnt realise they had a base!

Man I had one of those and a Marko back in the day! Nice little time capsule you have there.

That is a way cool palomar beater box. Made me miss my old one.

Will try to catch you again JJ I hope my receive improves I was in a bubble yesterday.

Had a quick contact with @unit_399 but I seem to be in a RF bubble today. WDX1863 Steve had a QSO with him no problem but I rather failed to achieve lol. Proof positive conditions are everything lol.

Enjoyed the quick contact with WDX1863 in Pennsylvania earlier. Had to turn my beam around for him to get a good contact so conditions are beating on me. Great to hear members out there.

Well, during the week I get nothing but Canadians endlessly ranting about Truedu so I suppose fair trade?

Yes Sir. Appreciated the contact. I haven't heard JJ at all today so far. I didn't have the directional pointed at you so I apologize for the less than stellar signal lol. Mother nature is being hard on my recieve as well. Have a great day out there!

Typed faster than brain was working. Corrected earlier post. I guess I'm a bit early he did say afternoon. Where you hanging out at? Just talked to 96 out of Ontario no problem, should be able to hear you.

I wouldnt even call a f/t hobby lol. Most of us its a if we can find some spare minutes in life to give for it lol. I also called for you on 555 lsb. Got static.

Wheres JJ I tried 37,39 and 40....

Yes Sir all correct. I did not move it under power. Just like those variable TX stars, big no no but people do it. It was just defective out of the box. Smelled some serious "10 ohm" smell out of is as well immidately after keing up with it inline so something or many somethings were not well...

Yes Sir. I'm fine without that tuner inline. It was brand new and defective out of the box. I was just working at future proofing for the ham bands ahead of time but it didn't work out. Seller sent me a return label so all is well other than my disappointment with MFJ. I WILL now however test...

Sounds lovely. My wife is cold blooded keeps the house boiling if temps outside drop even slightly. Leaves me overheated and faint lol. Dang island dolls. I even forgot what my handle was trying to have a QSO...

Wife cooked some kind of Asian soup, Philippine fried chicken and rice with her spiked up soy sauce with onion, garlic, Thai chili and calamansi - delicious. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamansi
