Hi there Carl.....in a AMPS reflector posting that you made to
Rich Measures on October 10 concerning B+ glitch resisors you
briefly mentioned the Clipperton L problem that I have been
experiencing....mainly that the parasitic choke resistors start
to smoke when I tune up on 10 meters. The circuit consists of
a 100 ohm 2 watt carbon resistor with a coil formed around the resistor
(or in parallel with it) consisting of 5 turns of wire. There is
one of these on each of the four 572B tubes. I have tried reducing
the number of turns on the coil to 4, but the resistors still
smoke on 10 meters but at a higher power output level than before.
I am thinking about using a 68 ohm 2 watt carbon resistor and
reduce the turns on the coil to 3 turns.
I wonder if you have had any experience with this problem with
the Clipperton L and if so what you did to fix it.
I am sending a CC of this to the AMPS reflector to see if
anybody else out there has figured this one out.
Thank you for your help es 73 de Mike/W6RW
