Apologies if I've repeated this story in the past... There was a wave of contaminated Eimac 8877s that preceded the 1985 event. It nearly cost me my college job when I was working at a small FM stat

Looking for BC-610 PA output coils. I believe these came in sets between 2-18 MHz. So, probably 3 or 4 coil sets in total. Here's a link to the photo of my homebrew link tuner with the 80m coil. This

I recently purchased an SPE Expert 1K-FA solid-state amp to augment my two Alphas. However, despite the manufacturer's claim that the amp is "Full QSK," in fact the amp's T/R structure is one of the

See NEC 250.32(A) and (B). Since your 3-wire system is existing, the 4-wire requirement beginning with the 2008 NEC likely does not apply -- but may under your local code. New detached structure wir

For that to occur with both the neutral and ground opening, the grounded equipment chassis needs to find an alternate neutral path through other connections (e.g., grounded PL-259, RCA jacks, BNC, a

Gary, Pre-2008 NEC, that's allowable as long as there is no other metallic path between structures. It still appears to be an allowable exception on some existing wiring with conditions. Myself, I w

Carl, Assuming it's not an autotransformer, then it seems that Sec 250.24 may be applicable if the one or both of the stepping transformers are "outside," in which case the serving CT is grounded to

Mike, Since the L4 by itself is not a QSK amp, I'm assuming you're running the IC-765 in Semi-Break-In mode with the L4? That would explain the T to R lag. In any case, one option is to use an Amerit

He's discussing the time from Tx back to Rx -- not a missing transmitted "dit." Again Mike, to overcome that problem requires setting Semi-Break-In on the transceiver to a faster value. However, real

Phil, I just took a look at the PowerMaster's specifications on p. 25 of the most recent on-line manual. For both the 3KW and 10KW couplers, its rated accuracy is specified down to 1-watt. It's a goo

Steering diodes or other forms of isolation are generally used when paralleling PS outputs. I would first look to the manufacturer's recommendation for strapping. Absent any data, you'll need to ana
