I had a nice chat with Gerry/KC8ZUL in Ohio this morning on 40 AM. He restores and collects old AM broadcast transmitters. This morning he was running a Collins 20V3 transmitter. Check out his collection on QRZ. Talk about heavy metal.

I'm drooling! What a collection!
That's gansta as shit!
Holee crap! Dude died and went to heaven and doesn't even know it.
He was telling me he has a fork lift to move transmitters around.
Does he have his own substation or are some of those diesel powered?
I checked my log, and I have talked to him on 20m AM.
Notice the Flex 3000 on the op position? :mrgreen:
Nothing I have inline at the moment sounds very good on AM. One of the projects in the over-the-holidaze queue is to add AM transmit to my IC-745. This rig supposedly works AM FB when modded accordingly.
Another is to finish up the cooling fan projects for my FT-980s. Ditto the sound.
The 101 Twins, FT-301 stuff and FT-901DM are on the repair bench for various things: Capacitor replacement, VFO rebuilds, meter re-lamping. All of these get great reports, especially the FL-101 transmitter.
When I get something workable on the air I'll look for youse guys. Can always work SSB in the meantime! :snicker:
