Yeah we had to straighten out a few of the guys on AMPS today.
A touch of the professor's wisdom.
### anybody who doesn't know what a 3x3 is... well... they should
go straight to their ARRL hand book.... where they still won't
figure it out.
### Dunno where the 11m term "pill" came from. Saw that a few
yrs back.... "192 pill amp" ... what did they do.... build a
heatsink the size of a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood.... and then run the
entire mess on 18V ?? What's the IMD on ssb, on these things ??
### Using a linear amplier on AM seems kind of silly to me.....
since the cxr power is only gonna be 1/5 of the pep output. You
woulod have to pulse tune it to full pep output [tube amp].... then,
with an unmodulated cxr... adj the cxr for 1/4 to 1/5 the pep
output.
### what exactly goes on in one of these shoot outs ?? I heard
each vehicle has an assigend freq... and they each send a 10 sec
dead cxr..... with the referee 20 miles away... and his spectrum A.
## I also heard some times there is as much as $25 K in prize
money. Who's bank rolling all this prize money ...Eimac ?
Later.... Jim VE7RF
