EXACTLY!!!

And maybe not even an "EX"-CB type...
But still a practicing 11m Jammer ? ;)

73 - B.A.

PS: Hey!!!  Just acquired a Halli HT-40 (80-6m)
    AM/CW only rig.  Anyone here had experience
    with that one ?  In particular, with perhaps
    modifications to reduce that 8% distortion
    spec of the audio when driven to 75% mod.
    The mic will more than likely be an EV-630
    (Hi-Z) or a Calrad 10-33 dynamic.

    I ought to be able to put something in the
    way of a pair of push-pull 807's together
    that will bump that 25w AM up to something
    you all can hear :)  And that sounds clean.
    I seem to recall seeing a diagram for FOUR
    807's (or 1625's) in a parallel-push-pull
    design that delivered a couple hundred watts
    (linear class), don't recall where I saw it :-/
    (bet a set of 4 1625's would look purty with
    the blue glow flickering on the mod peaks :)
    Never seen 807's in operation, do they have
    the same royal blue glow that the 1625's do ?

    Gonna try to go pick up the SX-101A some time
    this next week, and found a nice fella that
    has an HT-32A and is hanging onto it for me.
    And I think the AMECO CN-144 I have will work
    with that without too much trouble.

    Remembered I have a Heathkit SB-614 around
    here stored away somewhere, if I can just
    FIND IT!!! :)  No doubt I'll need it with
    these latest plans.

    SOMEDAY!  I'll have a vintage AM station OTA! ;)
    Wonder if I'll be able to actually USE it then.
    May end up becoming a 'criminal' if I do...  :-/
