...meters, that is. I have a vintage Heathkit SB-110A 6-meter transceiver that I purchased c. 2000 and am considering selling on ePay. I was hoping to get it going for the first time this past weekend (I have a pretty good rig backlog) and using it on SSB during the ARRL VHF Contest. I did the usual vintage rig prep. Unfortunately the transmit section seem kaput, but the receive section seems to be working.?

I did not hear the expected SSB signals--did any of y'all? I did hear tones around 50.16 and 50.31 MHz--I understand the latter is FT8, yes? As to the former, online info indicates that it is used by Radio Scouts / Jamboree on the Air, JOTA. Anybody familiar with that?

A member recently mentioned that to test an SSB transmitter, one could use a phone app to generate FT8 audio, play the phone's audio into the mic of the transmitter and use PSK Reporter as a reverse beacon.?

How about the inverse, i.e., play FT8 audio through an SSB rig's speaker and use a phone app to listen and decode the FT8 signal (?) I could more fully verify the SB-110A's receiver operation that way.

I'm also thinking of doing a video including the received FT8 audio and posting the video in the eBay listing.

Thanks, and best, --David KM6RI
