And this is how us Old Bucks entertain ourselves while we are remodeling our kitchen while the Snow is flying outside. The other day I listened to AM skip on my hand held while working and didn't enjoy the jive talk on AM so got thinking I wanted to listen to SSB while working in the kitchen. Well I dug out my very first power supply I bought in 1973 or 74 to run my first Royce Mobile and actually talked 25 miles one time on my First Shakespeare Big Stick and of coarse that was Barefoot. Wondering if any of you remember this power supply.[ATTACH=full]62349[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]62349[/ATTACH]On low setting she runs 13.8 volts with radio turned on it drops to 13.6 but I sure enjoyed 38 LSB most of the day with PC-122 and a cheap $16.00 mag mount antenna throw ed on a piece of sheet metal in the window. With a surprising low SWR but didn't try Talking. LOL
