[450] FW: [VHF] US Based 4 Meter Beacon

[George Andrews]

Bob,

I dont know if we can. I don't think I have anything that goes that high. I 
have two Drake receivers, will check them.

Maybe some day we will have a 70 MHz allocation. That is the frequency of 
the rf I used when smashing atoms. five RCA 2332's running four MW. 3 plus 
MW into one cavity and the balance to another. These tubes had about 5 kW 
drive. Wish I had scavenged the 4X500 and 4X250 stages!

George
