[Hallicrafters] Re: SAM Net on 6m AM 1900 PST Sunday

[Bruce - KB6LWN/rcc]

Hi Jim,

Had the opportunity to have the MilRadios (VRC-10) up
on the road this last weekend making sure it was ready
for Field Day and tried to check in a couple times...
Did anyone hear me ?

Only running ~15w and this rig is WBFM, so it's possible
I was lost in the noise level of crossmode.  Antenna was
a random longwire, but I was copying the rptr on 52.9? Q5.

I'm closing up a deal on an SX-140 to match my HT-40, and
when I get the screen dropping resistor and some other
possible problems in the PS section of the latter fixed,
maybe that will be able to get to and HEAR the net.

Still working on the 6m KLM Yagi :-(
Need to wind another balun for it as both the factory
sealed balun and the coaxial balun that I got with it
seem to be near shorted (over 5:1 at freq).

I ought to just bite-the-bullet and get one of these
trees topped, and put up a 6m vertical with some gain.
