100 Watts on 11 Meters? Look no further...

[N8OBM]

Here's an even EASIER way to 100W on the Chickenband! And alot Cheaper!



But the HAM RADIO thing to do is replace the 11 Meter Crystal with a 12 meter rock.
So I need a 30.52 Mhz 3rd overtone xtal in a HC-25/U holder.

Those are hard to come by, and probably would cost $30 or more if I ordered one new!

This may be heresy to say but, I would much rather our friends on CB who felt the need to run extra power use good quality Ham gear rather than a lot of the garbage I hear them run. There is a town about 20 miles down the road from us where the locals are busy having power wars on channel 15 and 34. The splatter is amazing! The amount of power they run isn't so much the problem, It's the out of band spay they spew. They are running big solid state amps with no output filtering and they are pushing them hard for every last watt they can get with out any regard to is it's in band or not. Yuck!

I'm glad I'm not any closer to them

BAH! Why clutter your engine compartment with alternators and nearly blow the engine red lining it to transmit when you can have your power plant on a trailer? Triton has the answer, here's the 15KW baby for your QRP rig but since your 250KW Collins SW transmitter is in your big rig why not pull twin pups? Tag on behind the top of the line that will loaf along powering that champ of the shootout when you hammer down, you need 480V 3 phase current anyway so how's a MEGAWATT grab ya? Here's how, heh heh heh.

Yikes! I wouldn't want to be with in a mile of one of these things firing up! Talk about RF burns waiting to happen. Crazy, that's the only word I can think of for this. What next, A key down battle with a commercial broadcast station?

No. How about commercial TV channel 2?

They could at least put GOOD fuse in it! Cheap plastic from China........

Backing up a couple of years:
"This may be heresy to say but, I would much rather our friends on CB who felt the need to run extra power use good quality Ham gear rather than a lot of the garbage I hear them run."
That's exactly what we did back in my CB daze and up to a full gallon too, but most a bit more sensible ran 100W plate modulated AM. My little circle of friends used transmitters "Stereoized" on my bench, clippers and filters bypassed with the speech amp widened to get rid of that telephonium audio to borrow a phrase from WA1HLR who made the same mods then unbeknownst to me. I had a 100W wide band push-pull amp in the mobile, some think they spit trash but mine was clean as a whistle and with a Shure 404B mic on the 23 channel Rat Shack radiddio audio to match. 100W is just about right for a decent signal and nobody but those in the know had any idea we were 'pushing power". That guy in Brooklyn with the Johnson Ranger exciter on the Desk Kilowatt was another story but then again so is Brooklyn.

For those who missed it here's the station part of my old basement radio room/shop/man cave. Interestingly the flash gives the impression the transmitter HV is on but it's not, if it were the red on air light on the wall would be lit. The black box with the 4-400A sitting on it is the Courier 1M legal rig (;->) and the only one with triple conversion receive. It had razor sharp selectivity that eliminated splatter from all but the jerks with amplified mikes cranked up to 11.

Ah yes... Artie was quite a charachter. When he was running that configuration he used to hit me up here in Westchester stronger than many of my locals. He also liked it when I switched my Model 122 VFO to the 11 meter "ham band" and ran the Viking 2.
