Thanks to Rex WA6GYC for this short video of the Wauseon OH swapfest - one of the first to be held in what is otherwise "the summer without hamfests". Bryan KB8ELG, club president and promoter, put an AN/GRC-9 field radio on the air, hand-crank power and all! Full information can be found at the club's website http://k8bxq.org/hamfest

According to Rex, "20-25 trunk sellers, over 80 total attendees by ticket sales ,they said it was a near record turnout , perfect weather , beautiful wooded lot owned by a club member, they also use it for the club’s Field Day."

Very nice, like old-timey hamfest were - more of a social event than a race for bargains to re-sell on eBay ;-)

Ed Marriner, W6BLZ/W6XM (SK)

One of ham radio's most prolific builders and authors
Category: Historic

This tribute to Ed Marriner will be updated over time. Having known his writings since my earlies ham days in the 1960s, I knew about the "SSB Transceiver from a BC453" conversion article/booklet, but until I had the good fortune to acquire two homebrew SSB transceivers made by his good friend Ernie Mason W6IQY did I know that my vintage SSB friend Lynn Fisk K5LYN was a...

The Hallicrafters FPM-200

A glimpse of the future from 1957
Category: Vintage Ham Radio

Like most hams, I remembered seeing the FPM-200 at an astronomical price in the 1962 Allied Radio catalog and wondering just how rich would a person have to be to own one? For my 11 year old self, such things may as well have been on another planet, but well...things change.I'd seen only one FPM-200 sold (to a guy ahead of me at a hamfest) and in the pre-eBay era most rare ra...

why 50 ohms?

The Forgotten Impedance
Category: Technical

Why do we use 50 ohm cables? If you're like most hams the answer is: "I dunno!"In fact, it's a compromise (like most things in life) - between lowest loss when handling power and voltage breakdown, as Belden engineer Steve Lampen explains hereA pdf copy can be found below as well. And now you know!... READ MORE

"Crystal Plugs"

DIY version by "RAN Crystals"
Category: Crystal Replacement

Crystal sockets were popular for pluging in ... crystals, of all things! But they were also used for other purposes, such as the antenna relay connection on some EF Johnson transmitters. If you want to connect a VFO to a transmitter with just a crystal socket, for example, you're going to have to either carve up an old FT-243 type crystal or if you want to outboar... READ MORE

A visit to the D J Everett III Radio Room

Honoring the legacy of a small town radio station owner
Category: Historic

Many successful career people are grateful for mentoring they received on the way to the top. But few have honored a memory as passionately as has been done by Beth Mann. She's the owner of Ham Broadcasting which owns five stations in western Kentucky but the story is about her mentor, the late DJ Everett III who started WKDZ in Cadiz Kentucky in 1966. Everett worked as... READ MORE

Multi Products Model CM-1 Conelrad Monitor (Motorola DS9660)

another obscure Elmac returns to the air
Category: Vintage Ham Radio

Bob Heil's favorite radio is the Moseley CM-1 which the developer, John Clemmons, told Carl Moseley stood for Clemens Manufacturing number 1. "No", Mr. Moseley said, "That stands for Carl Moseley number 1!"As that may be, there's yet another CM-1 receiver and it was made by the Multi Products Company of Oak Park, Michigan.As wikipedia states: "CON...

All Band Inexpensive 40 Watt Transmitter

a great "first homebrew xmtr" project
Category: Vintage Ham Radio

His crystal-controlled exciter that drive the 813 was based on his Novice transmitter, which was built by his grand-uncle back in the 1960s when Novice class hams were l... READ MORE

Lysco "Transmaster" Mobile Transmitter

a seldom-seen cutie from the golden age
Category: Vintage Ham Radio

I'm always intrigued by the odd and unusual ham gear that I remember seeing in catalogs as a kid but have seldom seen after hundreds of hamfests and uncountable for sale listings. One such is the Lysco mobile transmitter which was produced by the Lysco Manufacturing Company of 1401 Clinton St. Hoboken NJ between 1949 and 1953. Despite being a very cute and co... READ MORE
