I've been watching your channel for a while and really enjoy your incite and electronics lessons. It thrills me to see you so exited for a job well done on a very challenging radio project. Great Job!
It is actually a Watkins Johnson of Gaithersburg MD product, bought and rebranded by BAE, a UK based Defense Contractor. I think DRS or Leonardo Now (Italians ) own what is left now.
BAE and several other companies including DRS have owned the original WJ plant and rebranded these radios. I have worked at BAE, Cobham, DRS (Leonardo now) and Codan of Aus., by the way.
Whoot 630m! I signed up, but it may be a few years before I try this. Great to see a working band out in the hinterlands of make-your-own gear hamming.
Think that band would be fun.. Like amateur radio in the '40s and '50s.. there seems little activity in my area, altho it's likely hidden.. I have tons of noise here.. my HF is nearly blanked.. Thanks for the video
Yes exactly. I made a contact at high noon yesterday with a station 400 miles away. There are so few users that you never know if the band is working or not. And ground wave out to 100 Miles is just crazy good on the band all day.
Congratulations Mike, I just bought the SVA1AFN upconverter, DC to 520 kc to 10 Mc and will use it with a Ten Tec Corsair. I also have an R389, VLF cousin to the R390 receiver. I am looking for a BC 191 or NDB xmitter but may end up following your lead and homebrew something. 73 de Glenn WA4AOS dit dit
Hello..hola en algún vídeo podría hacer una " actualizacion " de armado de radio SW ya que no poseo una radio que tenga esa banda. Se qué hay varios videos. Pero si algún día puede hacer uno y con algún circuito esquema mucho mejor así podré intentar armar uno de ser así. Hasta que pueda conseguir comprarme una radio que se pueda escuchar Radio SW. Gracias y disculpas por molestarlo...siga mejorando los videos que son interesantes de videotecas...
Una radio regenerativa es una forma sencilla de experimentar con onda corta. use un transistor 2N3904 y baje el valor del 1M hasta que funcione. Agregue un amplificador LM386 a esto para un volumen más alto. www.incb.com.mx/index.php/banco-de-circuitos/6427-radio-regenerativa-de-1-transistores-cir5705s

Thanks for watching!
Nice to watch your radio .... thanks for posting the QSO at 630 meters....patience for next video..
That receiver is intriguing! British aerospace systems! They were just up the road at Rochester airport!

Nice fist! Thanks for the tour of 630M.
I never became really proficient at CW. Just good enough to have some fun.
Great video, really enjoyed 630m CW contact process. . .
I have found that the best way to really learn something, is to go through it step by step, failing and recovering as you go.
just an inspiration from the real master of Homebrew Vintage Real Deal radio
Wow Thanks. I Needed this after ruining up a meter movement this morning by crushing the pointer accidently!

Brilliant Mike, well done with first contacts on 630m. I am sure to enjoy next video.
Thanks for watching. Have to take advantage of the low noise condx that winter brings.

Pileup on 630 meters!
630M is a lot of fun .
@@MIKROWAVE1 Well I thoroughly enjoyed your 630M series. 630/2200 is one of my ham radio goals (first the general license though). Thanks!
