I'm an OT newbe. Ex K9ZSL licensed early 60's. Had a Conditional ticket. Let it lapse. Dumb. I'm going back on the air. Now that I'm retired am going after the retread and taking up where I left off. Built some dynomite gear especially audio because my other interest was recording. I have a 16-track digital studio in my basement with all that processing equipment. My audio will be awesome!
I'm building a 300 watt AM unit from scratch. Did I mention I have about 40 years in broadcasting and have a lot of the parts from a Gates BC-1T handy?
Driven.
Anyone willing to give advise on a simple exciter? I'm going to use the one from the 1949 Radio Handbook unless someone has something nifty with band switching and VFO provision for all the hot AM spots. 2 tubes (6AG7 to 6L6) feeding a 4-125A. The 1949 diagram uses plug-in coils. No problem. The Gates cabinet has provision for slide-in chassis. How vintage is that? Vintage is what I want. I already have power supplies. 73, Mike
