FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
As you may know, my carrier current
station is on 1020 kHz.
I have been looking at other channels
on the AM BCB, and 620 kHz is the ultimate
destination.
But for now, it appears that W60HZ will go
to 550 kHz in the interim.
550 kHz is dead empty during the day, here.
A couple of good friends and my brother happened
to find a 550 kHz crystal. It's on the way.
If it oscillates, and if the transmitter tunes
down that far (It should - but you never know,) in
a few weeks '60HZ will be on 550 kHz.
We'll see.
Again, 620 kHz is the final destination. But we will
need to get a lot more "techie" to get on that
channel.
Best Wishes,

Although those older LPB's are excellent transmitters and built like Sherman tanks, their big drawback is the use of a single tube for both the oscillator and modulator/final. This puts a huge road block in adapting other frequency generating circuit/s to take the place of the crystal, which those on frequency crystals are not only difficult to find, but quite expensive.
Wish I still had my old LPB AM-6 unit. If I did I probably would have found a way to get around that crooked crystal problem!

It's OK. I love the challenge of
all of this.
Speaking of challenges, I am getting
on 3560 kHz tonight with a one tube 3 watt
6AQ5 oscillator transmitter. The receiver
will be a Heathkit GR-81. This regen receiver
has only 2 vacuum tubes, if you don't
count the 35W4 rectifier.
Time machine. Back to 1970 or around there.
I will keep you informed on the CC stuff on the
other thread.
Best Wishes,
Bruce W 60 HZ
