G'day

I am looking for AM contacts most days on 29.010MHz from 2300Z until after 0000Z. 

I've been making CW contacts as far east as CT at this time (as late as 0100Z), but the AM window has been dead here during this period.

Looking forward to making it across the Pacific with my 120W into a homebrew 2-ele quad at 45 feet.

I'm in Oregon but would gladly drive anywhere to save the BC-7. I've been looking for one, or its equivalent for years.

And in Dallas. The possibility of 'inadvertent vehicle detailing' keeps other drivers from being foolish in their haste.

Too bad we are so far apart. Curious as to how large the mod iron and reactor are. 

I'm curious about the meter panels but I sense they are not anything like 19" but instead made for the unit custom size.

It is finally confirmed as to what this item is. It's an Electrolytic Tilt Sensor, not a switch, but a sensor in that the resistive fluid surrounds more or less of each pin, depending upon the angle deviation from 'normal'. When perfectly upright, the resistances between adjacent pins are all equal, as are equal the diagonal corner to corner resistances.

The amount of variance in resistances measured in the upright position is very small but this is calibrated for in the electronics part of the sensor at the factory so they are very accurate.

Some uses are for measuring tilt on scissor lifts, laser levels, and other things which must be kept upright or at a prescribed angle. Fredericks Company is one manufacturer of the devices.

If there's a good side to this ending, it's the plethora of parts that will eventually be available to others trying to keep their 300J, 20V-2, or 21E going into the future. I'm taking the extra time to remove pretty much anything of use down to harnesses and cable clamps, even hardware - as evidenced by the photos below.

In response to inquiries made, I will say that for now I'm not offering anything for sale due to time constraints with the upcoming move. However, if you're local or plan to be in the Charlottesville/Richmond are (we're halfway between) I'll be happy to let you haul off stuff like iron etc. Less for me to move.

So the deed is done or, at least - begun.

First load to the metal recycler consisting of small access doors, rear ventilation panels, power supply lower panel and one large front panel.

One more front panel to complete along with the rear hinged access doors before moving on to the cabinets/chassis themselves. Should have that completed by the weekend, then on to the chassis.

Looking forward to it!

Look for the bright orange sweater and hat.

See you there!
