The RF Workbench / Re: Can one use a CW transmitter to transmit voice? *edit, added link
« on: January 10, 2014, 0834 UTC »
Back in the hollow state days, you could build a cathode modulator that you could plug in to the key socket, but they were a pain in the ass to adjust and notorious for negative modulation.

I remember my Uncle, who was a tv repairman, trying to build one for an old CW rig he'd picked up somewhere. He wanted to be a "Big Gun" on the CB bands, but he was as cheap as they come. He worked on that thing for weeks before he said the Hell with it and built a linear amp for his CB transceiver.

There's a fellow who's designed a very nice variant of the Talking Pixie called the "Big Talker". I can't remember the name of his website but you can type "The Big Talker" in your favorite search engine and see what comes up. One caveat, it's designed for Part-15 broadcasting.

Did Pat run out of "WBNY" t-shirts? It's sad day when a Radio God has to sell his Barbies to make ends meet.

LOL! Yup, the free battery card, I remember it well.

I guess this is a sign I better use that Rat Shack gift card I got Xmas before they shut down.

I had a couple of them. Poorly grounded electroshock devices for kids,IMO.

Ironically it wasn't far off the NFL game in those days. No offense and if you managed to make it to the 50 yard line you tried a field goal.

Jan Stenerud and George Blanda would have been proud.

That would be my guess, Andy.

I thought someone might be running an old tape of my bogus station "Rock N' Roll Radio" when I first saw the thread. That one used the intro and outro of that Ramones tune as id's.

Turtlehead knows his music.

6855 is long established frequency for the Canadian Air Force. So is 6955 at times.

They use it fairly often, nearly nightly. However, I may be in sweet spot for receiving them.

How's your buddy Lum?

I guess they didn't get the notice about buying crappy Chinese transmitters on Ebay.

There were always rumors those NOAA transmitters were a mean bunch.

Gene Scott's ex-porn star widow preaches on 6090 from Anguilla in the West Indies with the signal directed at the East Coast. 6095 might be a tough catch there.

Thanks for the link, Andre.
