[SixClub] For Sale: Heathkit SB-200 HF+ 6m

[k2dp at charter.net]

OM's,

The classic SB-200 conversion to 6 mtrs was developed by W2UTH in 1968 and 
was published in QST. It is a quick and easy way to get 500-600 watts output 
key down on 6 , and yes, you can leave 4 other HF bands in place. The amp 
runs hot, the 572B's are pushed to the hilt and without ever having put the 
amp on a spectrum analyzer, I'm not sure how clean it is on 6 mtrs.

However, 50 watts output of my old Hallicrafters HA-6 transverter into that 
SB-200 conversion I did back in 1978-79 time frame was just what I needed to 
complete WAS on 6 from South Florida to work KH6 and KL7 from the farthest 
spot east of those 2 rare dx states on 6 mtrs !

I have since put the SB-200 back into the 5 band HF mode and continue to 
consider converting my SB-220 to a 6 mtr monoband amp. However, each time my 
Ten Tec Centurion goes belly up (as it is now) I keep dropping the idea of 
converting my SB-220 and thinking how nice it is to have a good spare HF amp 
without having to pull apart my Collins S-line to use the 30L-1 on my main 
HF station.

73,
Dave, K2DP
