I am in the final stages of setting up a 500-Watt vacuum tube AM and SSB station with vintage TMC components.
For transmitting, I will be using a GPE-1A AM exciter or a SBE-2 SSB exciter with a PAL-500 linear amplifier
and a ME-165/G power monitor, an Electro-Voice 635 microphone with an Altec broadcast 1566A preamp,
a Technics 12-band graphic equalizer, a 1000-Watt homebrew antenna tuner, and a 123-foot wire dipole antenna.
The AM or SSB receiving setup is a TMC FRR-49 fixed-frequency receiver (or a Stoddart NM-26T EMI receiver),
a Sherwood SE-3 Synchronous Detector, and a pair of large Bertagni recording studio speakers
for critical AM listening. High Fidelity AM with the TMC system is my first choice in this great hobby, but for SSB, I also can fire up
a classic Collins KWM-2 transceiver with a Heath SB-620 spectrum analyzer, an Astatic D-104 microphone,
and a MFJ 969 antenna tuner with a 22-foot Hy-Gain vertical antenna.
The Stoddart 30-inch shielded loop antenna is for VLF and LF listening. Favorite frequencies: 3870 kHz nightly or 12.263 MHz Sunday afternoons! Station location: on the border of Woodside, California. Member: AMI, California AM Club, ARRL, PAARA, and CHRS ---LINKS TO NEW PROJECTS---
