The slob ain't wearin' a coat, vest, and tie when he's building that radio! What's up with THAT?
Despite all the pics you see in old radio mags of people building and fixing in a coat and tie, did guys really do that???

One story I heard was that before WW2, radio announcers at the BBC wore tuxedos on the job. I do recall seeing Harley motorcycle ads published right after WW2 showing some dude taking his girlfriend for a ride on his bike, and he was wearing riding britches with a shirt and tie, along with goggles. |

Many old buzzard photos of motorcycle cops on Harleys show them with a tie. I know the Slab Bacon always wears one when he's riding his Harley.

I have several cases of that mag and others stashed away. Very cool reading, but also very fragile. Maybe neat to scan a few and pop on a website - if I only had the time!

his finger is on the red lead?  ? 67 1/2 volts or is that one 45. My Dad had a technician friend at work who alligned my Heath GR64. We bebuilt the front end of his old Pontiac. After thak he sent me all kinds of cool stuff to tear apart. I still have the transformers from an old mil audio amplifier intercom thing. Once he sent home a neon relaxation oscillator that flashed the neon once a second for many years. That is where I learned T=RC. He also threw in a box of 67 1/2 volt batts. I blew the thing up when I series up all the batts to see what happens with 675 volts across the circuit. NE2 didn't last long but I had a spare to repair it. |

If I touch the 45 volt lead with this
hand, while with the other....
Ooooh! Even my pipe is smoking!
Keen-o! Wait'll I tell the guys at the
radio club about this! |

And here's the OM later that night. [Glasses gone and the pipe replaced with a more suave cigarette.]  |

Heh,heh. That's some nice Photoshop (or some bitmap editor) work. You even stuck the schematic from the Tesla 360 rig over on The AM Window Web Site up on the wall!
If there were more action like Harvey's at hamfests these days, attendance wouldn't be dropping.

Obviously, if more hams wore their lucky coats and ties to hamfests instead of mustard-stained T-shirts they might see a bit more action! |

No me, John, this is my attire when carrying out radio servicing-->> Have you read the article on how to construct the "distance getter"? It's wild and kewlbeanerz. If my memory serves me correct, it uses a single #30 pube and just about everything else is real homebrewski, down to the gridleak. etc. I'd love to build it. If the thing actually works (no reason why it wouldn't), I think I'd get out my "Missouri Meerschaum", put a little aromatic blend in it and go tooning around for oldies. As an added plus, one could wind a curl for 75M and listen for Irb calling CQ the free world - hi! |
