TVI giving you trouble Does your peanut whistle wipe out local channels just as if it were a kilowatt Or are you maybe in the process of planning that next rig, and want to avoid any problems with the Tennessee Valley Indians Hundreds of thousand of words have been written on the subject of TVI but very few of them have really brought out one point which is of special interest to the VHF-minded ham who happens to live in a semi-weak-signal area (and this includes almost every place in the...

However, it is likely that the damage to the heart controlling nerves would have al-readv been done and death would still result despite the fact that the circuit had been broken. The severity of the damage always increases with the length of time the body is in contact with the circuit. This is due to the blistering and burning effects at the points of...

Every so often in the various radio publications there appears an article about an SWR meter or an rf power meter. Such an article did appear in a recent issue of 73 Magazine. In practically all of these projects the use of a meter having a 0-1 scale is prescribed. The meter itself may have a 0-1 miliiampere or perhaps a 0-100 microampere movement. For the purpose of checking SWR a calibrated graph may be included with the article. More often, however, even this time saver is omitted and it...

Job of using what little space was available. I lie power supply for the 9 volts of bias was also crowded in beneath the chassis. The unit contained a fixed resistor rather than a potentiometer for R8 but is otherwise identical electrically to the circuit diagram and the other units. The performance of the unit was excellent but the possibilities for mass duplication were small indeed The next step was a lengthy conference with W3ITO, who during the normal daylight hours spends his time...

Hams quickly discovered that a big frequency gap separated 200 from 1600 meters. Setting up good 1600-meter installations required plenty of hard work and sweat. But with concentrated effort, skylines in the selected cities and towns changed practically over night. Above the theatres and halls acquired for the presentations, long multi-wire antennas swayed between distant supports. Inside, amateur equipment looked different too. Converted receivers lay burdened beneath large honeycomb loading...

Could be shown to lie better on paper. However, other problems can be present, such as undesirable feed-thru from strong local 50 or 144 mc stations, his can be difficult to eliminate especially if the 432 mc converter is fed into another high sensitivity 50 mc or 144 mc station converter, thence into the station receiver. The terrific gain an dthe various beats from the conversion oscillators may well nullify the higher if advantages. It also ties up the 50 or 144 mc station converter at the...

Considering the number of possibilities for errors we didn't do too badly. Hallicrafters reported a rash of orders for their 2650 FPM-200 which we put in for 26.50. believe the price on the 200 is back down to 1995 now, in case the high price was holding you back. W orld Radio got a shock when we rated their Galaxy 300 at only 200 watts PEP. Since they went to an awful lot ot trouble to have the rig develop 300 watts I can see their point. The Galaxy 300, for clarification, is a 300 sideband...
