[TenTec] Too wide a signal....

[Sherrill WATKINS]

George:  If you were operating AM, then i would presume that your signal was supposed to contain modulation?  How could you operate AM without modulation? - Corn - k4own.

In 1948 I received an OO notice regarding the operation of my AM station on
75 meters. 

It reported that I had "modulation on my signal" and should do something
about it.

By and large, the OO's do a thankless job with good grace. I would never
ignore such a report.

We should all try to have a little OO in our operations. The other evening
a fellow club member was using his rig (not a TenTec, sorry) on 40 meters
and emitting a signal with a T7 or worse note. Really rough and raspy.

I had worked him the previous week and reported the problem at that time. I
told him about it again and suggested that he go on battery power. He did
and the T7 note became T9X. His Radio Shack power supply had developed a
problem.

He said that he had had probably two dozen QSOs running off the power
supply since I first told him and no one had mentioned anything about his
signal. And trust me, it was not borderline: sounded a lot like an old
doorbell buzzer!   <:}
