RICH SEZ... Do you have a FCC callsign?

RICH SEZ.... Definitely Not. So why do you hide your name?
Z SEZ...I don't hide my name. My given name is Z Sampson
Thompson, per my birth cert. No ham ticket, no callsign. Not a
famous author, nobody knows me anyway. Why does it matter. I've
gone by "Z" or "Zed" all my life.
Career was spent in comunications and related...HF/SW broadcasting,
ship-to-shore, etc. Climbed lots of towers, designed lots of
transmitters, had hams around me the whole time of course and even
have been heard on HF SSB from one or another ham's station, but
never got around to getting the ham ticket.
Any other personal questions on your mind?

### Hey Rich.... u finished cleaning the EGG off ur face yet ???
### Here's a fellow who has seen it all, done it all, designed it
all, repaired it all.,
Tom Rauch has done that too.
probably dealt with every manufacturer of
every piece of Commercial + Broadcast gear ever made since day
1....... then gets kicked off the... 'amp reflector'.... cuz he
doesn't have a FCC callsign !
I got kicked off and I have a callsign.
What a load of crap. It's
fellow's like this who have a lifetime of experience.... who's vast
knowledge is a major asset to a group like this.
The fly in the ointment is Zed's 20mA of grid current with the grid several volts negative with respect to the cathode.
### Rich... u can laff at 11-m ops all u want to....
I don't because I have talked to some who are knowledgeable about QRO. I talked to one 11m builder who built smaller mobile amplifiers using the 4cx3000A.
but anybody
who can design and install 3 x 3CX3000F7's in a mobile setup...
and have the where with all to generate that much AC power... plus
an ant to go with it... obviously isn't stupid.
Agreed
They got it
over our local 2M FM ops here in town... who... "touch the coax
once in a while to make sure it's not getting hot... running 25

### sounds to me like "Z".... just got vindicated.
You might be treading on quicksand, Jim. Amplifier experts are experts in knowing when to use their ears instead of their mouth.
... and I
doubt "Z" would semi-float the grids on a 3-500Z linear either.
Floating 3-500Z grids does nothing very exciting.
Heck... for all we know... the "Z" in 3-500Z was probably in
his honour.
chortle
later.... Jim VE7RF
