I know. This modern tat. It does use a couple of 6L6s in the modulator. Next April the 6L6 will have been in continuous production for 90 years. I think some sort of celebration may be in order.

Please do carry on. Your content is superb. As an old technology nerd and a car nerd I so enjoy it.

They can never take away who you are in reality.

We went there in Penelope the Triumph Herald. On a previous visit when getting out of the car someone asked us for directions somewhere. I answered we were not local and the reply was 'With a car like that you should move here.'

I caught the cat ( no no longer with us) tuning through the 40m band spinning the VFO knob watching the display and listening to the noises mesmerised by it.

The 160M or 1.8MHz band is known as top band as in years gone by it was the longest wavelength allocated to Amateurs. These days that is not true as there are frequencies allocated at 472KHz and 137KHz however the name has stuck.
Historically before VHF became easy it was used as a local chat band.

Black Muddy River. Written by Jerry Gacia for The Grateful Dead. Here is a wonderful version by Norma Waterson and friends.
