Photographs taken by 8/Sat, Wilson Deison, Dyess Air Force Base. of a BAW #3007 or Air Dux 5167 coll (%” diameter, 16 turns to the inch, #16 wire). The antenna coupler is one turn of solid hook- up wire. Since there will be fairly high voltage on the choke leads it is prudent to grommetize the feedthrough hole. Power Supply. Surely you must have some- thing around that will give 200-250 vde @ 90 ma, With 250 v you will have an input of 5 watts (20 ma) to the PA section of the 6CX8. This may go up to 25 ma with modulation. Tuning is casy. You can always build in several dollars worth of panel meters, but you t the same end results by making a #49 pilot lamp and soldering it to a %" loop of hook-up wire, Hold the loop close to Li and. adjust the slug for maximum brightness. Next hold it near the final coil and tune the final tank and antenna trimmer for maximum brightness, An rf wattmeter or fleld-strength meter will also tell you all you need to know for tuning. ‘The rig is designed for a high impedance dynamic mike and will give plenty of punch with most of the inexpensive ones on the mar- ket. Ditto crystal mikes, Just about any type of antenna will load up easily. A halo is fine for general ragehewing, a beam is better for DXing. Give the rig a try and join the local gang on six meters, you'll get a lot of fun out of it. mm 73 AMATEUR RADIO 33
