[Boatanchors] Al's SSB Rig/sideband package

[Al Parker]

Hi guys,
    Yes, that's right.  It's a "unusual" setup, I don't think I'd seen it
before, and I've suspected that it's the reason the output on the high
bands is low.
    Also, it doesn't have a mechanical filter as I mistakenly said in the
writeup.  I should have revised that long ago, I wrote it before I had a
schematic or any other info, and after I had done a too quick inspection.
I also see that the link to a pic got corrupted & shows an SP-600.  I'll
try to get things edited today.
    I still have it, but haven't had it on the air for some time.  It's
output on all bands took a dive, and I haven't dug into it again.  I did
get a homebrew DCS-500 receiver which I hoped to pair with it, to make a
totally HB station.  I haven't gotten inot the DCS-500 yet, either.  It
was built very professionally, but I suspect it never worked properly, and
wasn't used much, if any.  Maybe the builder was a good "mechanic" but not
a good electronic tech.
    Too many projects, I hope there's time for them all.
    Gary, I've got all the original articles, if you need any copies to
help in getting yours on the air, let me know.  Maybe we can get them to
talk to each other sometime.
