[Boatanchors] Manual for Morrow 5BR/%BRLN

[Rev. Don Sanders]

I found an original manual for the Morrow Mobile Converter 5BR. If omeone
can use it please let me know. If it is not on BAMA perhaps someone could
arrange to scan it and submit it.

Healthfully yours,
                          DON W4BWS

Subject: [Boatanchors] the question of tubes


> Good evening from the UK,
>
> Please permit me a few moments intrusion into this thread re tubes.
>
> I was brought up on the things, learned to love (and respect) them and the
voltages that are attendant to them I might say.
>
> We, who are familiar with these wonderful devices, must never forget what
we are handling and cherishing.  This isn't "just some old piece of junk" as
many would describe the glorious Boatanchors, they are the product of mans
capability to push the limits of his knowlege further and in doing so learn
more about this rich place we inhabit.
> We should be proud that we are among the first, more accurately some of
the first, who discovered the delights of the thermionic device and as such
we were and still are the pathfinders of the science of communications.
> Remember that once upon a time it was said that " nothing will ever work
below a wavelength of five hundred metres, lets give it to the amateurs to
play with, its no use to anyone else"
>
> So we got it to play with, and after we made it oscillate first and then
managed to make it communicate so we had the wavebands stolen from us and we
were pushed further and further along the spectrum well past HF past VHF
past UHF and on and on until the commercial houses realised that there was a
great laboratory operating outside their factories that did research for
nothing.
> How many amateurs ever got paid for a design?  not many I will warrant.
> The worlds first recognised "amateur" was Marconi and now look where we
are.
>
> Be proud of the part you are playing in the furtherance of science.  Think
what will happen in a hundred or two hundred years time, will there still be
a faithful band of amateurs beavering away in shacks and in cellars to make
something work, will they be able to lay hands on components and more
importantly will they still have stocks of NOS tubes to use.?
>
> I for one would like a glimpse into the future to see what the average "W"
or "G" station will be like.  Thats always assuming that (a) there is still
anyone around on the planet to be licensed and (b) if there are still
amateurs around, what will they think of the work that we have done and the
wonderful devices that we have made and made to work.
> We should be proud of our heritage in the tube world, long may the glow be
seen and appreciated,
>
> Kindest regards,
