Subject: line of sight
Hi Gang
Well I have my 2 meter rig on the way and got a lot of good
dope from you guys and gals on an ant system for it.
now one more question. This can apply to ba's also
Anybody know how to figure the line of sight distance for 2 meters .
Now I know this depends on ant height, but knowing the ant heights
how do you figure the line of sight distance?
Thank the good LORD for all that you have!!!

Gang,
I'm getting ready to build a new rig. Right now I'm using a battery
powered 3A4 oscillator rig. It's a fine little rig but the power is a tad
low (less than one watt). What I want is an honest 2 watts out on 160 thru
30 meters. SO I am thinking of a couple ideas and would love to hear a
comment or two. One is a 1S4 or 3S4 oscillator followed by a 3A4 final. A
better thought would be a 3S4 oscillator and a 3A5 using both triodes in
parallel.
It may sound like I am partial to the little battery tube and I am!
The only problem I have with them is that they don't "glow" enough. I think
I will go away from the battery power supply and use an AC supply but
haven't committed to that yet. Oh, one more thing, there was a single tube
rig using the 3A5 written up in a magazine during the last 5 years or so, I
had it but can't find it. Anybody have a copy of it?
thanks es 73

Subject: Choke Value for Series Cathode Modulator???
In issue No. 75 of ER, W0REP has a circuit on page 10 for a series cathode
modulator. All component values are given except for a filter choke used
as a reactive load between the screens and the plate circuit of two 6Y6G
tubes in the ouput section of the modulator. The parts list merely says
"small filter choke." Can anyone suggest a suitable value for this choke?
Thanks and Happy New Year.
73,
Jim W0KSD
