I can inform you G3YVF has built a DC transceiver but is rockbound on 502 but he has a poor antenna at home. He has been using an MF 'Paraset' with 6L6 co and a pair of 6SK7 's as det/audio but has since progressed to an NE602/LM386 receiver and a three transistor TX giving 5 watts or so with inbuilt ATU. Wea re both intending to use this in early June, in fact over the NFD weekend, on 502 with a kite antenna and salt water ground plane from the North Kent Marshes. G3XAQ is currently about to wire up his TX but will no doubt give you details as he is on the reflector. I am still running the three valve TX with a 2E26 with 5 watts and an ECF82 converter into the K2 tuning 3.501 to 3.504. The antenna is still the 40ft top wire and 30ft vertical section with a 206uH loading coil at the top. I agree activity is down but that could be due, at least this weekend, to the eardrum bursting static. I intend to be around most early evenings this week and daytime. 73 to all Colin G3VTT -------------------------------1179088597 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
