Observations on 60. All the weird bands have a 6 in them: 160,
60, 6
The good: 100 watt limit, wire antennas
The bad: Kind of cliquish-- like 75, not much of a CQ band. Channels. Not much activity.

Do you heat shrink?
Feel Tech Sig Gen might not have blocking cap at the output.
Speaking of which, when I spoke of the Ne602, I mostly meant
blocking caps, not bypass caps.
How come they don't have a cable TV channel devoted to radios?
They have HGTV? Why not HBTV?

ReplyDeleteOh come on now! Let's face it; Pete has gone all QRO on us. Next thing you know, he's going to be building pleasantly blue kilowatt amps. It's high time to send that award back!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tom. Send that award back ASAP. But then, make a deal with Farhan, to build big blue 800w amp kits as part of his enterprise, and Bob's your Uncle, you will have turned defeat into victory.
