I've decided to sell my LA-70 that Gene, W3ZZ(SK) and I build when Steve first got started. Amp functions perfectly and will easily do 1500w out with about 55-60w of drive. Amp includes relays, the o
Chuck, W4XP, worked 63 Q's and 27 Grids despite the horrible sounding audio. Seems the final amp module in the transverter has died and is operating class C....... it's always something!!! See everyo
In my efforts to "clean out the shack (or bus in my case!)" here are some more nice amps. 1. A 222 KW built into a Yaesu FL2100 chassis. Uses all the FL2100 power supply but the RF compartment uses a
Sorry for the confusion but the 8877 W6PO amp is for 2m. Terry In my efforts to "clean out the shack (or bus in my case!)" here are some more nice amps. 1. A 222 KW built into a Yaesu FL2100 chassis.
I have a number of brand new 18' long, 2" OD with .166" wall masts available in the northern Va., southern MD area. These are about the best you can do for masts and will outperform plain steel masts
I will be manning the K8GP station this evening for the sprint. At 8:00 PM local time I will be looking west for our friends in the central time zone. After that I will try to follow the minute hand
Hi Herb, Back when we first got the band, 903 was quieter in the east. I lived outside Cincinnati at the time and crud from cellular was lower at 903. I had a home brew crystal controlled cw transmit
Well, as the saying goes, "the best laid plans of mice and men!" Was up at 5 AM, out of the house by 5:30, found gas for $3.09 in Front Royal, had a nice breakfast at the local Micky Dee's AND Skylin
Andy (K1RA) and myself are going to be taking the K8GP show on the road this June. The K8GP fixed site got pretty well destroyed this past winter with 1" radial ice. I'll thinking about adding a 24GH
I'm selling this for Chuck, W4XP. Very nice Henry 1kw amp with a single 8874(3CX400A7). 35w or so of drive will yield 600w output. Rack mount separate RF deck and power supply. Does not come with RF
Does anyone feel that giving extra points for 2.3G and up has out lived it's usefulness? You can order a complete high quality transverter system from DEMI or DB6NT and it's easier to work folks on 1
Hi all, I will be operating from the K8GP contest site at FM19bb. I will be monitoring the dxcluster and ON4KST. I'll hang out about 432.095 +/- QRM Running 4x FO25's + QRO @ 1900' Terry - W8ZN _____
Alex, Using either a 4 ele beam or a turnstile will be very disappointing on 2m. A rotatable dipole and a vertical on 6m will be even more disappointing. A Yaesu Ft-897 is a good modern rig and with
Hi all, I haven't seen much positive or negative about the new rules allowing use of chat rooms etc. We were able to complete many QSO's well over 500 miles with stations simply because both of us po

I've built several 3CX800A7 222 amps and the cathode circuit that was used on the 8874 version was the same. The plate line changed. Terry - W8ZN Ralph, I'm really straining my brain here, but I seem
