A pound of No. 26, eh? Where were you a year ago?
Good News gang... I tweaked the freshly-constructed 80m L-1 up on my HBR-11,
and peaked the other two coils as well, plus the L-4A and L-4B (Neither the
doggone notes, NOR the QST articles say diddly about these coils!), and at
3502 kc, was producing a "READABLE" signal of good intelligibility at .045
uv. - .1uv was essentially S9 copy. Produced from a HP-606A... ran out of
pads, so that's as far down as I can accurately measure.
The begger tracks from 3499 at the bottom to 4031 at the top (lets me listen
to the MARS folks), and produces terrific copy, that my contemporary TS-430S
and IC-706 MKII/G can't even HEAR!
Now to repeak the 40m & 20m coil-sets... Wowzers! I always liked the
critter, but it's even better now.
Anybody out there got a modulation xfmr. for a Viking II?
