Great info ! @ my age ( 65 ) Iv'e been lucky enough to catch a few cycles . If I posted my log ..... well it might tie you up for a while . I think it was the late 70's ? I'm not sure Cobra 142 GTL . Sky Hook 100w tube amp (still have it ) & my Moon Raker 6 . Ahh the contacts I made ! Most of the time bare foot , It's all about the antenna !
Oh yeh, back in the day. Pearce Simpson Cheetah SSB with VFO, Siltronix 1011D Commanche, 4-tube Elkin amp, Moonraker lV. Work the world...or so I thought then

Ralph I fixed one for a friend years back , is that suppose to have 2 piece's ? Or is it a newer model than the one I had ?
No not the watt meter , not sure I think mine had a separate PS ? Anyway I thought it was 2 pieces ?
1011D Comanche Radios were the latest version of the Swan/Siltronix1011 model radios. They are one piece transceivers. Far as I know all of the 1011 Siltronix's were one piece.
But then again what I know is limited and I can't remember. Maybe it's supposed to have a separate receiver and that's why I think it doesn't work anymore.
Date on back of the Rat's radio is 1977. That's 34 years younger than me so it's OK for me to not remember things.

One piece. Had one I sold to friend, it's now out in his barn corroding away. Worked when I sold it, but he put the golden screwdriver to it. Only problem I had with it was drifting.
The 1011D is officially on my short list now. HahaCould be Leo...dang rat wore it out.

Maybe you’re thinking about one of the Swans. Many of those are two piece units like the 350, 500, and 700. They could cover 11 meters with a simple capacitor change and tweak within the VFO box. The 400 (3 piece with no internal VFO) was one of my favorites. Using the required external VFO greatly reduced drift by getting away from all the tube heat.
Sky hook 100 watt tube Amp.
Now that is old.
I have not seen one of those in 30 plus years.
Does it still work?
Love to see a picture of it!

Thanks Sun , My mistake it was a Swan , now that I think about it !
Audio , I'll have to drag it out from under my bench & take a few pic's ! The problem is I moved & lost the cover ! Actually found (2) 6LQ6's NOS the other day while cleaning the shack . I know the tubes were weak that's why I got new ones many years ago . Might have to fire the Old Girl up ! It always worked well . Now I have to make time to play w/it . But snows coming in the NE Corner Soo ..... ? 73 , Leo

The one I had made a good little compact heater, just enough to heat up the radio room.
