The BC-306 tuning is a good one too. Inside it is a tapped coil + variometer, maximum inductance about 1.2 mH. http://www.questmasters.us/B-24_Page_3.html http://eshop1.chem.buffalo.edu/600-Meter-TX.
Laurence, Cool! Never heard anything about any Japanese activity or interest in LF/MF - be interested to see if anyone gets on. Glad to hear that they got 3.1kHz rather than the mere 2.1 kHz the rest
Rik, Yes, I believe that would work. However I couldn't find a cost effective 50MHz OCXO, TCXO etc AND my dds developed problems with the optical encoder so I decided to get a used HP 3325A synthesiz
Peter, Yes the Decca's are great transmitters with a bullet-proof design. I have run mine key down continuously at 1.4kW dc input for 2.5 hours for ERP measurements with no ill effects. I bought spar
Hugh, Yes and their 1973 hit "Step into a Dream" was used in British television commercials for Butlins' holiday camps. -- 73 Warren K2ORS WD2XGJ WD2XSH/23 WE2XEB/2 WE2XGR/1
Hi Jean-Pierre, Thanks for the capture. Yes very bad weather with thunderstorms predicted the next several days. -- 73 Warren K2ORS WD2XGJ WD2XSH/23 WE2XEB/2 WE2XGR/1
Mal, A good BC-348 is hard to find here. Many have been cannibalized for parts and ruinous modifications have been performed on them! Thirty five years ago I myself through my BC-348 in the dust bin
Hi Jean-Pierre, Yes, and this winter I will try for another 3dB (8W ERP) if the antenna can stand it! -- 73 Warren K2ORS WD2XGJ WD2XSH/23 WE2XEB/2 WE2XGR/1 -- 73 Warren K2ORS WD2XGJ WD2XSH/23 WE2XEB/

Hi Jean-Pierre, Yes a short test (3 minutes!). Nothing escapes you! The weather has been very stormy for many days so it has not been good to operate. -- 73 Warren K2ORS WD2XGJ WD2XSH/23 WE2XEB/2 WE2
