The AM-6154 and AM-6155( first one is VHF, the other is UHF) are FAA aeronautical communications equipment that is convertable to linear amps for 2,222, and 432. Fair Radio Sales in Ohio still lists
The UHF model is called a AM-1178/GRC and uses a pair of 4CX250B's. A friend of mine converted one and runs 100 watts output on FM. I am still looking for my Fair catalog. I know they were in the fir
The amp of the 2 4CX250 variety for 2m/222 is the AM-912 amplifier. Check out http://www.n1bug.net/tech/am912.html. This is the way to go for medium to light heavyweight power. Got to get one myself
The AM-912 and AM-1178 are one tube, not two tube amps. Another oldie I used to have was an AM-495/GR which put out 450 watts with 6 watts drive (IT had 2 4X150's). Joe W4AAB -- StripMime Report -- p
I have just e-mailed the big 3( Yaesu;Kenwood; and ICOM) and expressed my desires to see them market a VHF/UHF(6m though 1296) radio of the type similar to the FT-817, although I only used that refer
I have an MMT432-28 transverter made by Microwave Modules.I need a manual for it. I bought it at Dayton last year. It is missing the final amp. The driver runs 250 mW out, which is enough to drive a
I personally had a great time at the SEVHFS Conference in Huntsville this weekend. Got to meet some folks that I had only talked to on the air or read about in magazines. I feel that the VHF/UHF crow
That should be WA5VJB cheapie beams. They work great! -- Original Message -- From: Richard Clem <clem.law@usa.net> To: <vhfcontesting@contesting.com> Cc: <msadams@acsu.buffalo.edu> Sent: Saturday, Ja
I have a copy I got from Kent WA5VJB, and I will send to your home address.They work great! To see pictures of them, see the picture in Sept.2000 QST of W4RXR's mountaintop QRP setup. All of the ante
I have a friend of mine in north AL(EM64) work a station in Miami,FL(EL95) handheld-to-handheld inside the house no problem with a VX5(standard antenna). Just get on 52.525 or 52.510 and make noise.
The one I had the relector was 117 inches; the driven was 110 inches, and the 3 directors were 105;104; and 103 inches respectively. The spacings between all elements were 35 1/2 inches. Hi all, I re
June 1987 was awsome from EM65( I operated portable from this grid before I found a place to buy and move up here). Worked CT4KQ on 6. In June 1992 worked VE4 and South Dakota on 2m E- skip.Sorry I m
I am restoring one at the present time. 5 watts in gives 100 watts.That is on 10.I am putting it on 6,. and need the coil info for 6m.I have the manual and it lists different plate coils for 6 and 10
A 30 meter dipole or inverted Vee is 5 wavelengths long per leg on 6 metres, likewise 40 metres is 7 wavelengths per leg on 6. In addition to outside, I would put up a 6m loop in the attic. I use one
The guys in EM64 (AB4KK, et al) have been using 50.680(corresponds to 28.680 which is the 10m SSTV frequency. Joe W4AAB EM65 -- Original Message -- From: <Qrpvhf@aol.com> To: <vhfcontesting@contestin
I have a copy of a copy I can mail of the 64B. Basically, the T-match is using the driven element as a folded dipole with a half-wave coax balun(80 inches long) to transform the impedance from 200 oh
I forgot to mention, the coax used in the balun IS RG-11/U (75 ohms). Just found info on delta match on M1CCZ's web site. Joe W4AAB -- Original Message -- From: Joe Crawford To: Donald Huntington ; Q
The antenna he is referring to is an extended double zepp.It has a little gain over a dipole.The loop would be a nice choice. I have one in my attic. The total length of the loop is 19 feet 8 inches,
