Some great spaces to let the creativity flow, Looking good Prime! Long time fan from Cali- What UA-cam needs right now is a proper release of "The Hammer Hits Hard" love that cut and we can't find it online anymore.
I for one would love a video that goes into detail about the audio setup in your station. I been trying to figure it out. Its the bird with 2 wings....your killer genius rf equipment on one side and that ultra high fidelity audio on the other side. Prime....you are the top of the pile. The Drag N' Fly from tennessee said that and i got down.
Dam prime your the man. Love your setup.I wish I knew what you've forgot..thanks for the dream land walk through..keep the hobbie alive. Happy pappy day to ya.700 WEEDKILLER IN THE BUCKEYE WITH A WAVE.👋
From Root to Fruit lol dang I like that. I may have to steal that saying from ya bro lol. OLE gatekeeper yo white boy but im no hill Billy and im gone now!
Got a couple of "GREAT BIG Johnsons"! Reminds me of running my old Eagle 500 and them tubes glowing red, heating up the room, and the phone ringing because I was keying over the neighborhood VHF/UHF TVs.
Finally.. the big hammer up close. The ft102s are awesome. I love the setup prime. What brand are those red audio interfaces? I was gonna say the man better have a couple johnsons! Ya gotta do a antenna vid next :)
I stumbled upon your video and wondered if you build amplifiers for a hobby and what do you do full time? Your workshop is Bad To The Bone! Have a most awesome evening! Sincerely Jeff Alessi
I see you responded to my comment on that “hands “ video very beautiful station nice to see where the magic happens 😂😂 aye bruh how much for that 102? Does it work on 80m too bruh? And ah damn I see that 100kw 😂😂👀👀 547
Does the B&W 5100 still work? I think they might have a design flaw. I have a friend here on UA-cam, 441bsa1968 is his channel, and he's had to have the plate transformer rewound 2 times. Basically, B&W decided to lay the 6146 tubes on their sides, and that is a no-no with that tube. If you have a plate-to-grid short, there goes the B+ transformer. I have yet to run across a 5100 that doesn't have a blown B+ transformer, especially if they use the rig a lot. Check out 441bsa1968's channel. He has a couple of videos where he uses his B&W with a couple of really great receivers. 73, Dave Hebert
@@tomward8339 Do you use them very often, or should I say, do you use one of them a lot? I'd cycle using them, if I were you. If even a spec of the plate starts to fall on the grid, it will, more than likely, take out the B+ transformer. I guess the safe thing to do with that rig would be to only use the 6146 tubes for a given amount of time. You should be able to find a spec sheet on the tube, and you'll want to look for something called the "mean time before failure." Use those tubes for 75% of the MTBF, if you wanna stay on the safe side.
@@tomward8339 Yes, laying the 6146 on its side is not good. I did a bit of research on the 6146, and the manufacturer says, quite clearly, to not put that tube on its side. If you look at a data sheet on the 6146, it says that the operating position of the tube can be any. OTOH, I found data, either on the web or in a book, that said that you don't want to use that tube on its side. It might have been Bill Orr who told me that, actually. Can't remember exactly -- too long ago.
I think RCA came out and said not to use it on its side at a later date or something. If I had to guess, that was probably after the war was over, and they were no longer manufacturing the tube. If it was during the war, fine -- let those tubes blow up so we can sell more of them. Greed is a funny thing sometimes.
@@danielpenaofficial4186 Being a ham, I'd love to hear one of Prime's boxes on 3.885 MHz. Personally, I'd never risk my license, but I'd love to see that signal on the band. LOL.
Dave Hebert QSL Well I’ll tell you a secret.... just look at WV6PBJ he runs 2kw “dead key” on his 4-1000’s on AM 3885.... I didn’t say anything tho LOL W7ZAR I’m sure prime would be running 10kw dead key on that frequency 😂
Hey Prime! glad i came across your channel, and i hope you keep making videos. Are you by any chance a fan of the AvE channel? you two seem to have a lot in common.
SKULLCRACKA bet LOL that would be a GREAT series on your UA-cam 😂💯 think about it 🤔 can I hit ya up through your skullcracka website? Or can I ask Shawn for the info lmk 👌🏼🙏 (you know who I am talkin about too) 🤭 HAHA
Thank you for sharing. The build quality showcases the passion.
