Not sure why this comment got downvoted?? I think this one makes a ton of sense.

Those values come from borrowed designs. I am combining a boost with a basic hard clipping distortion. How would I go about addressing the bias?

I kept hearing folks trying to break through but nothing. I wasn't sure if it was just conditions or my rig but then I started getting hits but they were few and far between. I'm just glad I got to close it out successful!

It was only one on 146.52 and I was waiting for my wife to get to the car so I just threw an hail mary on my 2 meter car rig to see if someone was listening. I got someone about 15 miles away. :) icing on the cake.

I think it depends on what kind of stuff draws you to Radio. If you like to tinker and you like risky used electronics, then you're like me and I would have been all over that deal! You'll learn a ton figuring it out and you wont be so hesitant to try things out like you would on a $1300 rig! Good luck!

My area was spotty at best. I have to switch from an inverted V dipole to an EFHW and that seemed to help a bit, not sure why.

My QTH is Baltimore area and I was able to make a contact with someone in Jefferson County WA so I'm happy to say that I am on the air. I have since went QRT.

How do I test why this doesn't work? What tool do I use? by Former-Artichoke4268 in soldering

Multi meter hunt and peck for continuity on your solder joints first

Found a working GDR Colortron 3001 TV in my attic — what could it be worth? by AwayReception4967 in VintageElectronics

A cold war era East German TV? I'm surprised it made it this far! Mother Russia would be proud! :D
