[R-390] receiver inquiry

[Richard.McClung@Dielectric.spx.com]

Well,
That explains why we can't used the 120 - 235 degree beam sectors of the
Wuellenweber here.
I afraid I'm going to have to go thru channels to require you to post your
operating schedule five minutes prior to key down so that we may alert the
operators and block out those beam sectors.
Besides equipment damage we have had injured operators from headphones
being suddenly flung across the operations floor and bouncing from rack to
operator to rack to floor, etc.,  etc.,  etc..

Twit,
I have the bias on the 6AQ5 dialed back so the 6146 plates do not glow red
while I am trying to match it to the chain link
fence.

I only get about 50 watts on the in line power meter.I get the SWR under 2
on 80 meter.

With the spectrum spread, I can under stand you not hearing me in the North
East from my South West location. Worse even is, your off the end of my
chain link fence.

I have worked as far East as the San Diego County line. And north island to
the West.
I would like to work North to Orange County but my fence is not orientated
that way.

I would like to get an antenna up. I have some fence post up to 20 feet
high. But the dog kennel two houses down has fences higher than 20 feet.

I tried using my R390/A receiver wire, but I could not get the SWR meter on
to the scale.

I do live in a challenging neighborhood.
No ground
No elevation
High Voltage power lines
Valley bottom.
No lot size.
No trees
And now I'm told my transmitter is a wide band model.

I could have more fun but I do not know how.

Roger.

I haven't heard you over here in CT, so you must not
be "getting out". But if you think you can hold your carrier
to within +/- 30Kc on the 20M band, I'll be glad to see
if I can copy you. Tell you what, I'll brew up a nice "TV
tuner" receiver with a 6MHz bandwidth, and I'll center
it on 14.150 MHz, and you can give me a shout.

I had one of those dixies when I was a teen CB'er, and
that VFO was impossible on 11 meters. It was great
for jamming and creating a lot of intentional QSB, however,
so that was the primary mission of the DX-100...making
a mess of things. I have come a long way since those
days. Now I do the same thing typing away on this
computer. Ahh, the power of the keyboard beats the pen,
the sword, and even the 6146 !
