I used an 880/1 and 880/2 in the mid sixties. Best valved receiver ever made.

Brilliant receiver. Worked on it and used it when I was an apprentice. We used them for RTTY over long distances together with the companion 1 KW transmitter. Uses the Wadley loop, that gives it great stability.

Paul was using a mic preamp with a low battery causing popping on the audio. Once the battery was replaced his audio was excellent.

I imagine you are too busy to do this... but I have found that I like interacting with you. Very few people know the details of what you are sharing here so, if you wanted, you could post short vids from time to time... just defining terms and showing examples and your traffic would increase as young people would want to learn at the dribble.

Hi Tom...I've lots of video snippets I could upload but the workflow to post to YT takes an age meaning other things must take priority. Currently restoring a 1950s AM /CW transmitter and have a mountain of work thereafter including jobs on 3 vintage vehicles and a house!

Ha ha . Hi Tom and nice to hear from you. I got hold of this receiver 40 years ago...my first proper radio and have cherished it since. Full rebuild and careful reversible modifications. Have always enjoyed working on vintage tube tech...now have over 50 radios and transmitters...I'm a Ham so use the vintage gear as was intended. I see plenty of interest in vintage tech in the US too. I also have a couple of 1940 s vehicles too. Stay safe and keep bashing out the videos.

How do you know it's a number station and not a regular amateur? Because the frequency doesn't occur in regular amateur bandplans? It's neither in 40m nor 60m band. 6.76 MHz is below the 40m band lowest freq of 7.00 MHz. and above the highest freq 5.36 MHz of the 60m band. All the best, Rob

RobWhittlestone Hi Rob - not sure if that was a question ...as you appeared to have answered it yourself! As you say the transmission is outside the Amateur bands. I am a Radio Amateur. As I say it could be a training station (French militaire) or a genuine numbers station. My money is on the latter as the French Station is normally elsewhere....
