My friend Tom bought the FTdx-560. A few months later the FTdx-570 came out and I bought one. I believe we were ages 16 and 17. We both had Mosley TA-33Jr 3 element beam antennas. Zero financial support or involvement from our parents. At the time I worked at the ham radio store named Radio Supply and Engineering (RSE), so I received an employee discount 😬. We had a lot of great times with those wonderful Yaesu transceivers.

Thank you! I love these old all-tube Japanese radios. Even though the 560 is only CW and SSB, it's still considered a boat anchor. I'm still looking for a Johnson 500 with power supply :)

Modern "noise blanker" design concentrates on power line noise reduction, as the woodpecker was long gone (1989)....until now. The old Drake hardware noise blanker originally designed as a woodpecker blanker was a necessity in the 1970s, 1980s, as amateur radio transceivers were then rendered almost useless without it. Today's transceivers can't deal with Putin's new toy.

OK, I got a close -up view of the date. April 1912. So, if Carpathia had a modern AM - transmitter as you are picking up, 'Ol "Jack" could have been sitting there "Groovin' to the beat" too? I thought the bandwidth on those things were 100 miles wide. That tuner seems to be doing pretty good for picking up a modern day narrow band frequency? There must be something about primitive radio I don't get, but it's very cool to watch it work.
@JeffHogge-n1f 9 ай бұрын
Is this tuner what was used during the "Spark -Gap" days or after. I guess what I'm really asking is would old Jack Phillips (MGY) recognize this as part of his Every -Day experience, or did it come out a little bit after him?

Incredible. Had no idea that set (all triode at that!) could sound so good. You must have a very strong set of those globes too there. What is the antenna configuration you're using there? The 125D is a bit of an investment, but hearing that versus the 100A is night and day and really opens it up and lets it shine. Thanks for sharing this!
@ve3iku Жыл бұрын
Believe it or not, the antenna is a 3 foot piece of wire on the floor. I also tried a vintage 10 turn loop, about a meter in diameter. The loop cuts down on noise, and allows the low end of the band (550 WGR Buffalo) to come in really strong. The wire, however, is louder on the high end of the band, like for 1580 CKDO. The radio actually covers 540-1690 kc as tested with my signal generator. Doing the full alignment makes a night and day difference, as does the RF compensation capacitor - it is actually a regenerative circuit. So the Radiola 60 can be considered a combination regenerative - neutrodyne - superheterodyne radio! It really is incredible. People who could afford this radio back in the day must have really enjoyed this set. It was the top of the line set, before the multiband SW radios appeared in the mid 30s. I've heard that the Radiola 106 dynamic speaker/UX-250 amplifier combo (Radiola 64, but could conceivably be retrofitted to the 60) sounds as good as any modern speaker. Will be on the lookout for one.
