Derb,

A transverter is a great way to go.   Check out the ones made by Downeast Microwave in NJ. Put a wanted ad out for a 50-28. I have two 6M units and love 'em.  Pretty cheap for the kit version.

ARR preamps can add new life to your tried  receiver, converter, transverter, love life, etc.

FWIW, Downeast Microwave left New Jersey shortly after Irb did.

Keep yer eyes peeled for a Clegg Zeus/Interceptor pair.  I got a pair for a total of $50 at Manasses and Hwd Cty hamfests.  The Zeus will do about 150 watts, plate mudulated (4X150 mudlated by a pair of 811s)

Coincidence? I think not!

Jack,

Here is a design for a very inexpensive homebrew 2 element  10M Yagi. You can buy the aluminum directly from Texas Towers.

I once ran three of these stacked. They are broadly tuned and will easily cover from 28 - 29.250 for CW, AM or SSB operation.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.

Would really love to get my Clegg Zeus/InterceptorB combo going on 2m. Nobody around on Long Island doing any AM ops on 2m.

Have done a bit of 6m with the pair though.

I love the Zeus. Pair of 811's PP modulating the plate of a 4X150. Yummy.
