Hi Gang
well while poking around my new half dead hw 16 I all of a sudden
had sigs pounding in. Seems like a dirty tube socket. Some wd40
fixed that in a jiffy. The 250 kc cw filter works great, but it sure needs
a noise limiter in the audio. Have one on my regen and it sort of acts
like a agc curcuit. I clip everything above .8v going to audio out grid
so if a cw sig drops I do not hear much change as most sigs are above
that level, but it sure get rid of a lot of garbage in the audio. Am going
to put one in the audio of the hw 16 but make the clip level adjustable.
Had one weak tube and replaced it a 6ea8 have not tried ther xmtr yet, but
will this weekend. who knows I might even work you all on 7040-7050

Hi all,
I just acquired a lot of Hammarlund equipment from a former Hammarlund
employee. Forgive me if this information has been posted before, but is
there a Hammarlund reflector, and how would I sign up?
Thanks,

Subject: 35 watt one tuber
Hi gang,
I just had a nice time building a one tube osc. transmitter using a
6DQ6B tube. It worked right off! No mistakes...first time for me, ha!
Just finished my first qso with it on 7050 Khz and the tone is fine.
No clicks or chirp. I am getting 35 watts output!
If anyone would like the schematic, I'll scan it and send it to you
email.
It occurred to me that if I moved the screen grid resistor from pin 4
over to pin 3, I could try a 6146B tube without any other changes.
I may try it after a few more qso's. I'll have this lil glowbug on
7050 and hope to see you there.

Funny, I'm not getting any Glowbugs mail.
Have I been dropped or something?
Someone please send me subscription info again?
I miss my Glowbugs!

Subject: Yet another test
Please bear with me.
The list is run off a donor machine
and a donor internet connection and
we are still working out bugs.
Now. Some swapsies in the event anyone is
reading this.
Picked up an Icon R70 general coverage SS
(but vintage SS being of '83 birth)
at the fle today and am interested in swapping
for a glowing RX to go along with valve based HB TX
stuff. Already have a HBR16 but have been hankering to
play with a HRO 50 or 60.
Non working, highly modified, 'one of a kind ' but not in
the estate building collector sense all have appeal.
For QRO types have an unused 4-1000. socket, and fil
trans to swap too.
Last of all, 10MHz is hot.
Anyone running thermionic ethersnatchers on 30m?
