[Milsurplus] Rectifier Module, ahoy!

Mon, 9 Feb 2004 09:45:13 -0700

Marty,

For the record, I heard you on a Belmont Radio BC348-R, serial number =
5932.  I also had Command Sets on the air, a BC459 on 40 meters and a =
CBY52209 on 80.  The CBY is the Navy equivalent of the BC457 and it has =
a 1940 contract date that made it valuable for the AWA contest when they =
were stopping before WW2.  I also listened on Command Set receivers, a =
BC455 for 40 and a BC454 for 80.  I have a BC453 Q-5er backing up both =
the BC454 and BC455 as a second (actually third) IF, that makes both =
selectivity and tuning a lot easier. =20

Dennis, W5FRS, also had a TCS transmitter on 80, and Paul, K2LMQ, had a =
GRC109 on 40.  Those were the only other military rigs I worked.

73,=20

Jim, W8KGI

  This is a Navy set & RA-38, I teenk, is p/o the Army SCR-268 jurassic =

  Their 1st.

  And, hair-split time, this's fulla 371-Bs rather than 371-As.

  I'm surer than ever it's destined to be a monstah night light.

  Thanks for the trouble of the look-up.  I'd never hearda ur TM!

  And osn288, pic coming real soon now.  Oh and BTW on "MS 8012012."
  If that connotes windows-compatiblity, this bubba's headed to dumpster =

  town.

  footnote:

    Here I am writing about GI doodlebugs after an 16 hour boatanchor
    day w. CX.  But one that ended with a slew of contacts on 80 CW
    on a TCS-13.  TCS one of two OT QSK (break-in) rigs here.  The=20
    other is a Drake 2B. a Viking Navigator, & a Lynmar 6AH6 TR switch - =

    really FB.  Really-REALLY
   =20
    QSK makes you like CW.  And the smooth clackety-clackety of a TCS
    on CW will make you a fan of another dimension
   =20
    Military rigs in CX.  K2TOP had a TDK but I didn't work it.  W8KGI =
(NM)
    had a BC348 that heard my sig.s.  Used to be lotsa 'command sets,'=20
    but now they seem to be migrating to displayed objects 'd art.
   =20
    And in AWA a week back, KJ8L & I worked for 30 min.s TCS-15 to =
TCS-13.
   =20
    So they're there, there outside of military nets.
