100W FM from Avanti Grande

strap for 40w

 60wFM/40ssb













Like I show you in a past post this is the "secret" modification made in Avanti Grande & the family CB radios made to obtain 100 Watts (40w or 60w depending how do you put the strap on transistor...)  output in FM, but this one has a price to pay ... you lose the AM modulation and variable power. If you really want to do this, then at least use a good wire, because you must bypass (or strap) a strong DC current (8A).

Asa Nu, asa Da !

Antena verticala de CB 11m din imagine este montata undeva in Deva si este un exemplu de amplasament gresit ales... De ce ? :-)

Iata o alta verticala tot undeva prin Deva ... asa DA ! 
























Daca sus de totului nu se poate nici cum (cazul meu) atunci mai bine va departati de cladire la cel putin un landa (5...10m, 20m e optim pt un bloc de 4et.) si 1m deasupra solului pt o verticala (L/2 pt dipol orizontal/inclinat) dupa care puteti testa locul ales folosind o statie portabila.
La montajul pe fatada cladirii macar inclinati antena la cca.45..50grd si evitati pe cit posibil apropierea ei de obiectele metalice mari (streasina), oricum cimpul e mai slab dar  virful e mai degajat un pic si unghiul de plecare pt dx mai mic.

Propagarea la DX in 11m este slaba in schimb banda este fb pentru legaturile locale.

Vertical CB antenna

This is a picture of the second home made vertical antenna ready to be use for the emergency radio CB network. Location is in Deva on high hill, but unfortunately not on the top, anyway it's a very good location, and the antenna works perfect with a swr 1:1 at low power 10w and only 1.3 at high power. From electrical point of view it is cut on L/2 and mechanical is fixed inside on a fiber glass fishing rod l=6m (19ft). Easy and cheap to do it, I say, but it use to types of coax cable 75 and 50 ohms, and 75 is a problem (hard to come by a good quality).
Now we have good nodes of network in : Deva, Hunedoara, Balata, Certej, Simeria, (Vetel, Orastie), and a few mobile stations.

233YO073 testing a new vertical antena for 11m

This vertical antenna is one of my latest creation (intended to be in use for emergency situation...) and now is in testing on 233YO073 location. As you can see for the first test made with this antenna the position is not very high over the ground but the vswr is beautiful 1:1, so that we have work to do an other one for my friend Coco in this days.
