Title: My commitment to anti-PW radio./... Post by: W7TFO on April 27, 2012, 03:35:52 PM Here is a look into my ATU here at the radio ranch, W7TFO. Nah, just kidding! I wish!

I'd close the damn door in a hurry, too! 73DG Title: Re: My commitment to anti-PW radio./... Post by: Ed/KB1HYS on April 27, 2012, 04:08:00 PM Wow... They must have had an Idea that something was not quite right before they opened that up. Pretty impressive arcs there.

Someone will have to cut back on some power...... I'll guess and think that it started arcing when he opened the door. May have upset critical tuning at those power levels.

Post by: kb3ouk on April 28, 2012, 01:11:21 PM Hearing the audio in the tuner at a high power AM station seems to be something that occurs whether there is anything wrong or not. It just happens. But the flame shooting out of that coil sure isn't normal. My arcs and sparks that I've made with my tuner and my amplifier have nothing on that one.
