[Milsurplus] SCR-183 BC-230 Transmitter, "Cheap Tubes."

[David Stinson]

Been playing-around with the BC-230 again, looking
for
more cheap tubes that can be substituted for those
the 
"Golden Ear" (and Golden Wallet) crowd kidnapped.

Before I go to the effort to write this up,
please tell me truly if anyone really wants to
read 
about this way-under-appreciated rig.

Video of nice clean keying with 6S4 tubes and
regulated 300V.
3535 KC, MOPA, B+ keyed, 100 pFd series matching
capacitor,
delivering 8W into a 50-ohm load.  Had a nice QSO
this evening.
"Don't be hating" on my bench mess;
prototyping is a messy business.
