[Lowfer] WE2XGR/1 506.3 CW in EN90xn

[Michael Sapp]

Warren: No Problem ! Fun to share. Does not take that long to make a quick 
vid & upload. Seems (to me) like a more dynamic way to communicate a signal 
report than a line of text. I found the S51 on ebay from a son of a ham 
operator out in San Fran, CA area. Amazing that all those old caps and 
resistors still work well in it. I only did a cleaning, replaced a few 
tubes, and alignment to it. I do get an occassion tick and pop sound of 
leaky decoupling caps, but don't want to "re-cap" it given the relatively 
good condition the radio is in.

Around 0430 UTC Radio France International  on 162 kHz was Q4 to Q5 at times 
on the S51. I switched over to my Drake SW4 and the reception of RFI was 
similar.

Thanks for putting a signal out and motivating me to exercise part of my 
boat anchor collection!
