Re: 60 Meter crystals needed

Bobby,

I am not familiar with the GW3UEP, but would like to learn more about it and where to get the kit.  I have been thinking of modifying a 40 or 80 meter Pixie to work on 60 meters.  But I would prefer a dedicated 60 meter kit, as I am more of an appliance operator rather than a circuit designer, thus I suspect a circuit modified by me would be a sub-standard piece of gear.

Once I get a 60 meter unit up and running I would gladly set up a sked.  At this time, I am ordering 60 meter crystals from Bomar Crystal (sales@...).  They custom make HC49/U crystals.

Curious here.  Did you build one of the GW3UEP 60 meter transmitters?  I just finished one and it works great.  It puts out around 5 watts output when powered with 12 volts DC.

If you did build one, contact me via email.  I would like to set up a schedule to work you on 60 meters, homebrew to homebrew.

I messed up on my posting...I have channels 4 & 5 (bought 'em from 3rd Planet Solar)...it is channels 1, 2, & 3 that I need.  If I find a source for them I will post it on here (and on other groups where I have asked about such crystals.

Here is a USA source of crystals for two of the 60 meter channels:


This is the location for KC9ON's 3rd Planet Solar site.  He has crystals for "channel 4" and "channel 5"   I have ordered those crystals (and other crystals from him) and the quality is great and his service is excellent.

I am not aware of anyone that has crystals for channel 1, channel 2 or channel 3 for the 60 meter band at this time.  If you have a source for those crystals, would you please let me know?  I would be interested in getting some.
