I really like the QRP rig Jim! Just got threw with another goog QSO. Have you sold your tuner yet? Also Jim do you know what is about the lowest voltage that the rig will work on? Bobby kb4qnr

I am guessing the transformer did not sacrifice itself. It is more probable it was put to death by a downstream component. Before you replace the transformer, you should thoroughly test

A fuse would have been a smart move. I replaced the rotten original power cord, but had neglected to add a fuse . Pretty dumb for a safety engineer. I'm not certain where the circuit fault is, but

Bob: If you do a Google search on Ameco AC-1 schematic, you'll find a schematic someone posted. On it, he mentions the secondary is 200-300 volts center tapped at 50-100 ma.

I have an AMECO AC-1 that I bought 35 years ago and I am just now trying to see if it can be used. Unfortunately, I let the magic smoke out of the power transformer tonight. I really hate to give up

This link will point you to several groups in the area. http://www.w0omd.org/p/links.html Regards, ray���� W0PFO -- On 07/14/2015

I thinking about moving to Springfield Mo. I wonder what type of Ham Radio activity is in this area? I know this group started is this area. Are there other active Ham clubs in Springfield

This is still available - I figured to give the 4SQRP group first crack at it before posting it elsewhere. Jim - W0EB _________________________________________________________________________

I couldn't leave my Ozark Patrol on the shelf...it kept calling me! It bothered me that when the regen control was turned fully counter-clockwise, there would be no voltage at the collector of Q1. I

N1IX, Dave, and I will be the foxii for Thursday. Antennas here are KT34XA at 100' and KT34A at 20'. Will start out split and go to simplex as soon as the pile is manageable. If all goes well the

Thanks to everyone who have commented and/or made suggestions. Still no success with the regen and I think I'll follow Curt WB8YYY advice to set it on the shelf for a few days. This morning, I did

Enclosed are the latest standings from the SSS, which include Sunday's reports and a few soapbox comments. Bill, KV6Z is pulling away, especially since Terry was unable to join in on the fun due to

Hi Bob, I don't have an Ozark Patrol but I do have some regens. Does the Ozark radio have a tickler coil or a tapped coil for the feedback? If the connections or winding sense of one winding or part

Bob, check to be sure that you have continuity through the toroid winding. It can be a challenge to get the insulation stripped on the enamel wire. 73 Dave NM0S

I have an Elecraft T1, QRP auto tuner, that I'd like to see get a good home. It will handle 20 watts (5 times normal QRP levels) with ease and it has latching relays to keep battery usage to a

Bob as you know its often something simple, non obvious. look over things carefully to make sure nothing is making contact with something else. zero volts on collector of Q1 sounds fishy. also

So far, I've got 6 people reporting their scores. Tomorrow afternoon I plan to update the data base, so please send in your score if you haven't done so yet. Remember, all you need to tell me is

When the latest batch was announced, I immediately sent in my order and received the kit last week. Sunday, I put everything together and to my disappointment, no signals. This is the first kit that

Hey folks quick reminder the NAQCC Midwest MWN Net, from Nebraska...is tonight 40m on or around 7117 +/- kHz at 9:00PM CDT, 0200 UTC. Sent from my iPad 73 Scotty Long NU0S NAQCC MWN NCS Net

I agree Lee, we did this at our local club to generate activity and get some of the newer tech's, with rocks on their segment and the supplied 50 ohm resistor, experience in building and to show the
