[Milsurplus] BC-9: A Big Road Block

[Hubert Miller]

That's an interesting point you came up with, Dave.
Presumably this was a non-problem when working BC-9 to BC-9. 
I think Howie's solution was maybe used in some superregen VHF transceiver circuits, where otherwise set operators compensating for the other station's freq shift, caused the QSO to gradually move across the band.
So i've read.
You might have to pre-arrange the QSOs, set them up first with a "flagman" rig ? 
1 watt output sounds a little high to me for what i would think the original would do. 
What if you lowered the transmit B+ ? Yes, that would sacrifice power from the already QRP, but you're not going to work coast to coast with it anyway.

Hi dave, connect a small variable capacitor across the tank, relay or diode switch controlled, to compensate in the transmit mode. You can then tweak it to give the same xmit freq as recv. It'd mean an extra switch maybe, but for a real hacker that's not a big issue.
