Looking into a bit of the history of amateur radio in the territory,
I was sent scans of a couple of QSL cards (purchased online by a local
historian) sent by an amateur radio operator back in the 1940's The
receiver is a commercial model, but the transmitter appears to be CW
only and homebuilt. I can follow the transmitter description up until
the final stages, anyone familiar with these tubes, better yet, would
anyone have an idea of what it might have looked like or if it was
built from a publications of the time. The older card is from 1946,
and it looks like 60W output, the more recent one is 1948 with 750W
output (or did they go by input power at that time?)
