Carl, there's nothing at all wrong with posting to both forums in this
instance as the subject matter here about the problematic dearth of current
production Tx tubes is equally pertinent to the interests of both; albeit
perhaps more so to the home brew amp focused ham_amplifiers group.
I'm not sure what you mean by your abstruse and presumably sly derogatory
reference to "CB style QRO amps"...certainly none of the amps I own, or have
built, or modified have technical performance that's less than superlative.
All deploy engineering best practice and would be on par with the finest in
any technical benchmark performance competition; whether on the lab test
bench or on-air assessment.
Some of these high performance amps use Russian mil-spec SSB Tx tubes :-)
Cheers,
Leigh
## Leigh, PLEASE DON’T post the same identical posts to both AMPS @
contesting.com
and also the yahoo group.
It gets VERY confusing..and real fast. I had one of my posts intended for
the yahoo
group..end up on AMPS in error. Although a lot of folks belong to both
forums, its
still a dumb idea.. If you want to post a similar or same topic to both
forums, at least
do it as two separate ( and different) postings, one for each group.
### AMPS @ contesting .com is a legal limit, table top amp, commercial ham
amp type
of group. The ham_amplifiers@ yahoogroups,com
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ham_amplifiers/ on the other hand, has several
non hams,
ex broadcast design engineers, 11 m QRO builders, and loads and loads of hams
who build well over the legal limit amps. AMPS @ contesting .com has no
pix, nor
any file section like the yahoo group does.
## although they have similar amp related issues, treat them as two separate
and distinct groups. Folks here on AMPS will be greatly annoyed when they
find out their postings are being reposted to the yahoo group. Then we have
folks like
Rich measures, who will be arguing with comments made here on AMPS.....over on
the
yahoo forum. Rich can’t post here... and lots of folks on AMPS cant post on
the yahoo forum .
## leigh, u might find it amusing, the rest of us don’t. BTW..although the
GS35B is
a low cost, big bang for the buck GG triode.... it has one drawback. Its
an IMD
garbage truck on the bands. It doesn’t even come close to meeting any ITU
commerical
spec for IMD3-5-7-9-11, or any other commercial spec, past or present. It’s a
dirty
tube, plane and simple, just measure it. So is a 4-1000.
