- Could Novices work DX on 15 Meters with a low power one tube transmitter like the 3 Band Novice Oscillator from the A.R.R.L. Handbook? I was challenged to put the SimpleX Super with a Converter and the Transmitter on the air on 15M.

The crystal monitor is an excellent idea!
Wow, what a nice catch! I really enjoyed watching this.
He was weak and in the middle of a lot of stations and I did not have the receiver set up properly for single signal. But I heard him!
Fascinating!
Outstanding, Mike. Just like days of olde when magic filled the air.
There is still magic out there between the contests. Last weekend was an EU contest and it was mayhem. Then all the CW ops were tired. I snagged the Swiss station, the Monday before.
Signal seems a bit chirpy but totally what you'd expect to hear as late as the mid 70's and before! Edit: Somewhere someone noted the old adage "all one tube transmitters are chirpy" and this probably is born out of experience!
Well, a lot depends on the circuit and regulation, the band, and of course the crystal itself.
👍Nice going Mike. The converter looks nice and certainly works.
Its an old tried and true combo, the 6BZ6 and 6U8 that can be adapted to 630M upconverters through HF bands up to 6M. on 2M I like the TV dual triodes like the 6BQ7/6BZ7 as cascode amps and of course, the Nuvistors.

Works well. Pity about the chirp. But one tube. I can't think of how you'd keep the osc going between keying. Unless you " hid" a bjt circuit as osc and just used the tube as rf amp. But that's cheating 😂
The chirp scares some but it actually intrigues others to answer.
Interrupted by a vulgar UA-cam ad with some gorgeous blonde telling viewers about her gushing after her husband's "salt trick." UA-cam is a total joke like everything else right now.
Is there no way to stop this crap, I get them too.
