[Boatanchors] 6M AM

[Dale Parfitt]

I Have my restored Lafayette HA-650 monitoring 50.4MHz as I type.
A tiny 1650KHz internal BFO for copying beacons, SSB etc. The BFO is enabled
by unplugging the mic and plugging in a dummy mic plug that turns on the BFO
through a spare pin:

Now restoring a Hallicrafters SR-46 also.

although not the 'real old days', if you can get your hands on some 1957 /
58 CQ mags, the VHF columns were full of pictures and letters from JA's who
had been working the west coast on 6m F2 at the peak of Cycle 19. A lrage
number of them were using small homebrew rigs with a 6AQ5 in the final and
AM modulated with a 6AQ5...amazing days!!
