Hello All,

 

I just discovered that the last internet link on my collection of low-carb
links goes to my purchase of a Hickok VTVM on Ebay---honest, I didn't mean
to gloat! If you would like a copy of the revised list of links, just email
me off or on the list and I'll send it along.

 

Cheers,

 

Brian Burns

Hello Phil,

That's LOW-CARB, as in low carbohydrate diet. Some months ago I posted an
"off-topic" (OT) offer to send anyone on HBR my collection of links to
low-carb diet information. It turns out that one of the links got mixed up
with the link to my ebay purchase. So, I'm offering to send the revised
copy to anyone interested.

I'm in excellent health at age 75 thanks to the low-carb diet, and
promoting it is my other hobby, besides ham radio.

Cheers,

Brian

At the other end of the spectrum, I'm highly in favor of high carb (that is, polycarbonate) coil forms.  Polycarbonate is easy to work with regualr woodworking tools and does not crack like acrylic.

Some links:

Something I remember from "Ye Olden Daze" is that whatever material you 
intend to use FOR the coilform - put it in a microwave for about a minute 
(on High).  If it gets hot, don't use it... the reason is obvious.

Yes... been there with epoxy glue I used as antenna element isolators.
I filled a cup with glue and microwaved it after it got hard to see if
it warmed up.
It definitely warmed but not a lot.
Nothing like a tea cup of water.

Hello Rob,

When I worked at Hansen Labs at Stanford, and we wanted the lowest loss
plastic at RF, we used polystyrene. Not the best mechanically.

Cheers,

Brian

Just make sure you also put a cup of water in another container to serve as 
a dummy load tho!

Speaking of dummy loads......
my wife melts a pad of butter in a bowl to pour over dry dog food to get
her psycho puppy to eat the dry dog food.

Is the microwave oven frying itself as if its running empty when she
nukes just a pad of butter?

Is polystyrene used in anything common like  disposable plastic drinking
cups?

Negative... the presence of anything conductive or containing water inside 
the cavity resonator (dummy load), causes the SWR to rise, and heat results. 
(or sparks, depending on what'cha put IN there)...  It's all about Shake, 
Rattle, & Roll - moloculewise, that is.

Greetings Earthlings

Hopefully one of you did not bid on this : )  I would not have advertised 
it if I knew you did.  If you did, sorry about that, but figured someone on 
this list might like the opportunity to grab a VERY nice HBR 11?   

The last one I bid on from the HBR series, I bid 400, and was still out bid.  : )  
This one even tho it is an EXCEPTIONAL example of what is and can be 
out there, I did not bid on, as I now have 90% of my parts accumulated.  
I think I could buy this one and sell my parts and be ahead, except I would 
not part this baby out to get what I wanted for my build.  
IT WOULD BE A CRIME  : )  

Wish they did not have such a cult like following,  You can buy a 706 used 
for 5-600 : )  If these sold for 1-200 I?d have a couple, but not for some of 
the prices these babies get?

IF you bid on this, hopefully the ending price is not too far out of line with 
your budget.  Almost bid on it just because of it?s exceptional clean-ness, 
and the remarkable craftsmanship that went into it, great job to whoever 
built it, almost like a factory job for sure.

Depending on how far into this HBR cult thing you are, if I had not had my 
heart set on building my own, I would go the $400 on this one too, think of 
all this crystals, little variable caps and that dial, i paid $89 for my Eddystone 
all buy itself?   So when you start adding up all those little prices here and 
there, those prices don?t SEEM as unreasonable as they do at first.

OK, I better run, before I talk myself into deleting this message and bidding 
myself : )

Looks like it's at $261, thus far.

My 1964 HBR-11 isn't nearly as nice... then again, when it was built, I 
wasn't very smart

The photos of the HBR-11 on ebay are particularly nice, and you can save

~ Move your mouse over the front view that comes up and click on it. That
should bring up a full screen view (full resolution) of the front view.
Right click on that and select "Save image as".

 

~ I have an HBR folder that I store all my saved HBR stuff in, and I change
the name to something meaningful like "HBR-11ebay #2" or whatever. They get
saved in good ol' .jpg format.

 

~ Notice the > graphic on the right edge of the full screen view. Click on
that to get to the next full screen photo, and repeat the right click
operation to save it.

 

Cheers,

 

Brian
