John, I hear tell if you put your index finger of your left hand on the plate of a 6146 and turn on the power it'll knock the bug right out of you.

Almost ready for 20M and 10M AM here. Got the 20M and 10M stacks turning and able to beam west USA now. Also need to get the amp tuned up there.
Been listening and find 14.330 to be a great freq for AM with minimal QRM. Above 14.300 appears to be in small demand by the ssb crowd, which is a goood thang.
Watch for my CQ posts this next week on 14.330 and 29.000 mhz AM..

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.

well i have the valiant all ready. i keyed the 813 rig on 20m and a big flash came off the tank circuit. so it will need a little work.
the exciter is working fine. just gota figure out whats up with it. when i keyed it with audio turned off. it looked like the carrier was being modulated. parasitic osilation?
i used all my radio time to get the valiant back up and running. maybe next weekend i will get the big rig on 20m
