Schematic of the 4 tube radio, experimentally built in a way of the radio-pioneers (1910-1945). The radio acts as a cascade type receiver when the antenna coil has a high self-inductance, with lower self-inductances of the antenna coil you can put in a mixing process with the oscillator. Perhaps...

This is a one valve [tube] radio that believe it or not I constructed 48 years ago. It remained lost but was discovered again during a recent house move. The valve used is a battery R.F. pentode dating from around 1948 on a B7G base. The type number is DF91 or the American equivalent, the 1T4....

VHF SSB Weak Signal Highlight Video

A Fun Video Showing Some VHF Grid Bandit Members

This is a short video showing a contact made with Tom/K5VH under Tropo Ducting conditions that occurred on 18 March 2009

The first 2m SSB E-Skip opening in the midwest to Florida occurred on 22 June 2009. Several stations had to work each other at over 1000 miles during the brief opening.

Video shows how conditions were this morning on 18 June 2009 on 144 MHz and above. Jim/W4ZRZ opened up the band out of EM63 Alabama to the northeast. We quickly worked thru 432 then 222 MHz and then the surprise on 1.2 GHz on Voice.
