Message-ID: <006601c6cdd9$0e8803b0$f801000a@kendell>


Heath HW-101 HF transceiver for sale:

Classic HW-101 covers 80 thru 10 meters (no WARC), 
SSB and CW.  This is a tube type rig using a pair of 
6146s for finals.  This particular rig is at least a 9.5 
out of 10.  It works 100%, and looks very close to perfect.  
I can not find a scratch on it.  It was back to RTO 
Electronics for a check out.  At that time, the carrier null 
pot was replaced with the multiturn pot, plus various caps 
and resistors were replaced. The antenna connector has 
been changed to an SO-239.  This is an exceptional unit.  
With original manual for $175.

I also have a second HW-101 available.  This one works 
fine, and looks fine, but is not in the exceptional condition 
of the above unit.  It is much above average condition, but 
not exceptional.  It was also back to RTO Electronics for 
upgrades. There are a couple minor scratches on it.  
A copy of manual is included for $120.


Other Heath items for sale:

Heath HD-15 phone patch
This is the unit with the VU meter on the left and 3 knobs 
that match the SB series to the middle and right. Low or 
high Z output to the transmitter. It can also be used as an
interface to your sound card for PSK31, etc. It is in very 
good shape. Paper work included for $ 25.

Heath HM-15 SWR Bridge
This unit matches the Heath SB (and also HW) line in styling.
It is an HF SWR Bridge, with SO-239 connectors on the back.
The front has the meter on the left, and two knobs to the right. 
It is the same size as the HD-15 phone patch. This one is in 
very nice shape. Paper work included for $25.

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

Two Meter AM is going strong in Europe.

Here's a report about some cross-channel contacts
from the Netherlands to England etc. on 144 MHz AM!

Looks like they use 144.55 MHz there, just up from our 
144.450 MHz calling frequency. Some of you with the old 
tube 2m AM rigs would be surprised what you can do with 
them with just a few watts.

In view of the VHF contest activity this evening (5 Sept)

  http://www.vhfcc.org/rules/06rules/2006calendar.html

and also

the potentially promising tropo condx

  http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo_nwe.html

I'm hoping to be QRV this evening from a /P location from about 
19:00 local time (=17:00 UTC)

The evenings are getting shorter now so I may only have abt 60 - 
90mins of useful operating time (before it gets too dark) 

My main operating mode is J3E  - but my /P 2m station is "A3E 
capable" 

I'll try to remember to put some calls out in the direction of the 
UK on 144,550 (+/- QRM)

Otherwise if anyone hears me on another mode/QRG then I would be 
happy to QSY and try for a contact on AM

FROM: Tom Curtola:

The link below is a "youtube" video of "toy" regen assembly.  The 
audio on the video is taken from the radio.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmVC6HqEWYY

I ordered this little toy vacuum tube radio kit from a company in 
Japan that makes all kinds of neat hobby kits, science and radio 
kits etc.  (www.hlj.com)

It went together in no time, as it's aimed at non-electronic types. 
  Basically just plastic chassis with a regenerative circuit board 
with all the components already soldered.  The builder merely snaps 
together the parts, screw them tight and winds the antenna loop.

I think it's a great little kit for someone to make with his child 
or grandchild.

It actually works quite well in the AM broadcast band.  There was 
some room left on the loop frame for some more windings, so I 
experimented with different turn-counts and settle for the 160m 
band, in addition to the AM broadcast band.

This radio now has 160m ham and 120m Shortwave Broadcast.  Though 
the 160m band is not very stable, I am able to copy W1AW but the 
radio drifts too much to copy SSB.

The shortwave broadcasts come through very nicely on the 120m band.

The link below will take you to my "youtube" video of the assembly 
and demonstration of the radio's audio.

That looks really cool Lee. I wonder what tubes he uses in the 
4 stage regen? Possibly something like 1S4, 1T4, 1R5 since 
they only use 90V from three PP3 batteries. I wonder
though, if the batteries would be used up rapidly.
That adds a lot to the expense at about $20-30 a set!
Of course we could MODEL the tube sound with solid 
state and produce the whole thing for under $2000.
It seems like $109.00 is not too bad for 
such a kit when you consider they have to come up 
with things like an output transformer, speaker etc.
Some of us have often wondered if there might be 
a good market for such kits. 

Thanks for pointing out that web site.

Subject: [DCboatanchors] Pirates
Message-ID: <450138B2.12560.C7F312@localhost>

I thought some of you SWL enthusiasts might enjoy 
listening for this unusual station. Look what rigs they are using!
A Johnson Valiant and a Knight T150, he he!

FORWARDED MSG:

Greetings, Pirate Radio Fans!

The pirate radio station 'The Crystal Ship',  ("The Official Radio 
Voice of The Blue States Republic"), whose first pirate radio career 
spanned the years 1982-1984 (see Andrew Yoder's books on "Pirate 
Radio stations" chapter on 'Political Pirates'), remains active again 
since September 2004, twenty years after their last activity...

As of this posting on 9/7/06, we are active on 6,875 kHz on selected 
Sunday evenings and random weeknights.  Generally we are not able to 
broadcast on Friday/Saturday evenings, but may occasionally work that 
out too.  Hours of operation are usually -2/+2 hours from local 
sunset in the Great Lakes region, currently anytime from 2230-0230 
UTC, on 43 meters.

Our alternate 43 meter frequency is 6,854 kHz, but that will only be 
used if 'the religious powerhouse'  (WEWN?) again takes up residence 
on 6875 this winter.

We also plan to use 90 meter frequencies extensively this winter 2006-
2007, most likely 3237kHz or 3275 kHz, +/- 1kHz.  Operations in that 
band, come winter, will run many hours well beyond local sunset in 
Eastern North America, possibly as late as 0400-0500 UTC in 
December/January 07. Schedules in all bands will shift depending on 
the current hours of darkness.

We often send Email notices about pending transmissions. 
If you would like to receive Emailed notices about transmissions and 
current frequencies, please ask to join our Email list.  Requests to 
join our list should be Emailed  to tcsshortwave@gmail.com

Our transmitters include two Johnson Viking Valiants with AM carrier 
power outputs of 150-170 watts, a Johnson Viking 2 with 100+ watts 
(all plate modulated), and a now mostly unused but majestic in its 
history Knight T-150A with 100+ watts screen-grid modulation, (same 
model we used in the '80s).  Antennas currently in use are dipoles 
for 43 meters and 90 meters.  We use a variety of MFJ antenna tuners 
to keep the SWR at transmitter close to 1.1:1, regardless of 
frequency used.


QSL requests are honored via emailed reports at tcsshortwave@yahoo.com

Snail-mailed reports should be sent to:
The Crystal Ship
P.O. Box 1
Belfast, NY 14711

Since 2004, we also have confirmed reports from Venezuela and an mp3 
audio report from eastern France, so our reach on shortwave may 
extend beyond North America when conditions are favorable.

Strictly for the sake of our "DX fans", we hope to make some 
transmissions on 1710 kHz AM this winter.... if we get a suitable 
antenna erected before winter. To be notified of any such 
transmissions, you must be on our Email list.  (See above).

Message-ID: <45099F77.8289.1ED271@localhost>

I just finished an unusual 10 wpm CW contact on 40m 
CW with a station in Huntsville, AL that really brightened 
up my day.

I looked up the other station on the web while we 
were talking and discovered that he just got his ticket 
in August!

It started to get more interesting when he sent:
"AGE HR IS 15."   How encouraging!
A YOUNG person getting on CW and loving it!

Next he tells me he got his Technician license when 
he was just 13 years old!

We chatted about our rigs. He was using  Drake TR7
and putting a good strong signal down here into central 
Florida.

Here's a youngster that has NOT been totally abosrbed 
by computers, the internet, rap, sports and countless other 
evils of 21st century youth.

It bodes well for the future of ham radio when you hear 
teenagers enjoying it, and especially when they are 
running CW instead of blabbing into some trashy UHF 
walkie-talkie rig.

The QSL card is already stamped and ready to mail to him!

ars.w5ami@gmail.com

It would be good if several of us could begin copying to MP3 
files and preserving old tape recordings of ham QSOs.

Can anyone help supply some recordings?

------- Forwarded message follows -------

There are bound to be some folks out there who have possession of
vintage on-the-air recordings from the 60', 70' and 80's, maybe even
earlier.  I know at one time Otis (K5SWK) had many, and some dating
back into the 50's.  If these exist, they should not be allowed to
deteriorate or be overwritten before first getting them on digital for
preservation, either on the web or CD/DVD.

I propose that if you know of any such recordings, we somehow get
these copied.  I would be willing to do some of them myself.  Any
other takers?

It would be nice to have such a nostalgic and historic resource for
QSOs forgotten placed on a website or available on CD.  Gary at
amfone.net might be willing to utilize space for such media, or I
would be willing to dedicate webspace for the project...gigs if
needed.

Let's get together on this and try to gather what we can for now and the future!

Anyone have contact with Otis lately?  John/BXO?  I know he used to
mention on the air that he had quite a library of tapes, however that
has been a long time ago.

I have also posted a message similar to this on amfone.net...

Anyone remember that over-the-horizon radar stuff from the 1970s 
that was plaguing us on HF?

The Russian Woodpecker? Well, here is a detailed description
on the American and British effort to use HF radars to observe
data on Russian and Chinese missile tests during the period:

Can anyone help John Lawson with material for this?

If so, e-mail him at:
jpl15@panix.com

------- Forwarded message follows -------


   I am starting work on a Plan to find, restore, and digitally archive, 
any old recordings - on whatever media - of Ham and Ham-related QSOa, 
conversations, CQs, 'log' recordings - anything.

   I am a lifelong audio professional, and have the facilities to play-back 
and restore anything, from Edison cylinders, early discs (including) 
Recordio and other "home" type acetate and wax discs) wires, tapes, old 
cassettes, etc., etc.

   I can convert these materials into a digital format, do any 'clean-up' 
work, then make a CD/DVD and also an archival copy entry into a compendium 
of this type of material, somewhere on the Web.

   If you should send me anything like this, I'll convert it, then return 
the original material back to you along with a CD of the restored audio - 
all free for the price of postage....


   Please contact me privately OFF-LIST if you have, or know of, old 
recorded Stuff of this kind.


    Cheers
