>As you know, we recently vacated 55-60 MHz and moved to UHF channel 39. This
>hopefully will allow increased use of 6 meters because of fewer problems
>with TVI. With this increase of activity might come a desire for QRO and
>amplifiers.

>We have retired our old transistorized Harris HT30LS transmitter and are
>having trouble finding a home for it.

>It appears that channel 2 is not very desirable due to QRN and skip.
>
>Therefore, if no one steps forward to use it as a complete unit, then we
>must remove the transmitter and part it out.

>That’s where the Amateur radio clubs come in.

>There are 35 air cooled one-kilowatt amplifier modules, of which all but 2
>work OK.

>There are some additional 500 watt driver stages as well. Even though it is
>designed for 55 to 60 MHz operation, I believe it is wide enough to cover 6
>meters.

>While I cannot guarantee that someone won’t still step forward and buy the
>transmitter as a unit, I would at least like to have a way to possibly
>donate the amplifiers and perhaps even the six 50 volt DC (208 3 phase)power
>supplies.
