[ARC5] W2EWL BC-458 based SSB rig redone in Nov 2013 ER

[Geoff]

My HS Physics teacher was an old homebrewer ham and he explained a lot about 
the phasing adjustments as he had built a much more complicated phasing rig 
in the late 40's and still used it.

I had no way of measuring power but a 20M GP on the garage roof did well and 
then I built the classic make your own GG 1625's linear. Meters wiggled and 
I worked people, that was the extent of my linear knowledge back then! If I 
was spattering someone would tell me to back off on the mike gain and Id 
then leave it alone.

Next step was a used CE 10B followed by a used 20A followed by a used 100V 
which I still have.

I built mine in 1962.  Got great carrier suppression, but didn't know how to 
get rid of the unwanted sideband.  I also built a VOX unit with relays and 
dual triodes on a 5x7x3 aluminum box. I wish I still had it!
