Probably   a  early  form  of  Spread Spectrum  , hard to  JAM   if is its  jumping   about the  band  and  difficult  to  make a  fake  transmission if the  Tx has a  wobbly  bob  signature  : )

OK Mal

 

Point taken. I was referring to a "Power" oscillator like a single 6L6 used as an Xtal oscillator running at 15 / 20Watts which means normally there is insufficient current (really) from a VR tube for the Anode(plate) so all that is necessary is to stab the screen. Otherwise I totally agree.

I do know the standard T1154 chirps well. There is a PA0 who runs one on 500 and I am sure you have worked him it is like a signature signal HI. 

I think there was some kind unpleasantness going on at the time of the T1154 manufacture so the fine points of frequency control was probably a low priority.

Hi Pete

Stabilise both Plate es Screen on an Oscillator, followed by a Cathode follower to avoid chirp and osc pulling.

The T1154 was very unstable with a bad chirp, surprised it ever passed Quality Control

 Try again minus cct too big I think.

Hi Dimitris and group

 

I have not seen the schematic but it is usual to stabilise the screen of a power oscillator to reduce chirp on key down.

Now you have shown us yours I will show you mine. I usually sketch the schamatic after the event so foregive the presentation on the back of an envelope.

I now get at least 4Watts after adjusting the ant link coupling away from the chasis. Best audible DX Kent 80miles best Opera DX PA0 land.

It's embarassing. I like the glow of VR tubes! :-)
