I was 8 Years old when I got interested in Ham Radio, I joined Waco, Texas radio club, and someone gave ne a BC 342-n for SWLing. In 1958-1960 Most Ham Operations was AM. I loved listening on the BC 342n had to return it when we moved to Arkansas, but I learned to build radios in 1964 with Allied Radio Kits and Heath Kits.
Nice rugs. Here in the states I have mostly old military gear that I restore. Back in the 1960's ,we would buy these radios for 5 or 10 dollars and then start cutting and modifying. Now, I try so hard to put everything back original. But, as you know, the VLANKETY CLANK of the relays in the ART13 is really distracting, and you cant send too fast. I designed a solid state regulate 410 volt power supply that I key.I use the Throttle switch plug on the front panel, plugged into my station Transmit/Receive switch to handle keying the 120p volts . Then, inside the ART13, I installed a tiny switching DC supply that is 24vdc to 510 volts.I run that through a pair of isolation diodes to the OPERATE position on the TUNE/OPERATE switch. That keeps N+ on the plates of the 1625 multipliers constantly. The result is you get no chirp on the note, and you can send 25-30wpm with no relays operating. That really makes the ART13 much more fun to operate on CW. And you only have to cut one wire in the ART13 But st my Azores QTH, I have a little Icom 7100a that I use when I'm there for 3-5months every year.It is a perfectly quiet QTH that works very well on our little island. We will have to schedule a contact if you need CU8. I'm restoring my BIG transmitter now. It's a US Army T368. 4-400 final, 500 watts out.Its a beauty. It will take me a few weeks to restore things and repair damage it had from arcing that it had in the PA section. But it should be a pleasure to operate! NU6F CU8/NU6F Ron
Nice video, and nice fist. I just picked up a Signal Corps BC-348-Q in very good condition. It's been recapped, aligned, modern power supply, and 3 prong cord. It reminds me of the BC-312 that my dad had in the house when I was younger. That's why I got it at a Hamfest yesterday in New Hampshire.
Very cool...I had the ART-13 and the BC348 operating some years ago. The power supplies were a lot of work, but the whole shack looked cool and worked well.
I had one art13 i was 17 years old i go by bus to pick up my new radio the rx was bc312f i was with gril friend abt 50km to my home and we get this to big and have rig back by bus but the rx was wirk but i dint have power suppply to him i was young but i study this rig a lot the at tuner motor lubrificant rele vacum 813 811 big variavel was bealtifull i sokd my parents complain a lot to kip he was in balconi at time i diced to sale tks for this video we can see this big boy work
Your great fist, combined with the most satisfying transmitter ever manufactured-at least so in my opinion-makes up for one quality video. Every time this video passes me, I cannot digress from watching it; I have been listening to this beautiful operation repeatedly, for about a month, now. Those _heavy_ relays-or solenoids, perchance-have me enjoying this even more. Know You precisely what is behind these telegraph sounder-like clonks? I want to find such heavy relays / solenoids, to simulate this in my own station. Thank You! Seven-three: Moses K. Frost - SM5/M.
Really nice radio you've got and the QSO you've just has is just totally amazing and I think you said that your radio was made back in 1940 but that's very cool to have a good radio like that and it is also a piece of history as well which is very interesting stuff. Thanks and best 73's and you might catch me soon one day on the 40 meters and the 20 meters on phone OK cheers and best 73's for now cheers. Stephen M3SNV 73's.
Somehow a radio should sound that way, not the way noise generators “developed” in recent decades sound. I myself radio with similar equipment, only Soviet military radios.
In the 1950's you could buy a NEW or next to new ART-13 for like $25-$35. We kids quickly found out that the unit had the AM Broadcast band!!!! All you needed was a long wire you could put up a tree and you could br your own Alan Freed R&R DJ all night or get on the air on Sundays and drown out the preachers or have your own talk show with you friends speculating on local girls or our experiencing hot wiring local Cadillacs and Lincolns...hey, we were kids in the 50's and as long as our fathers and uncles with a ticket didn't catch us....
Передатчик очень похож на советский Р-807 с автонастройкой. Были такие в свое время на лампах в выходном каскаде ГК-71, в модуляторе две лампы Г-811, возбудитель СВ, удвоитель, утроитель,учетверитель частоты лампы Г-1625. Возбудитель КВ лампа Г-837.Лампа 6П6С предусилитель НЧ. Усилитель подслушивания 6П6С. Предусилитель НЧ лампа 12Ж8. Звуковой генератор лампа 6Н9С. Кварцевый генератор и смеситель лампа 6А7. Для питания анодных цепей умформер У-600.Для автонастройки электродвигатель постоянного тока ДУ-40. Этот передатчик работал совместно с приемником УС-8, УС-9, РПС.
@erwe1054 Гу13 это совсем другая лампа. Не путай с лампой ГК-71. Посмотри их параметры для сравнения и поймёшь, что это разные лампы. В некоторых случаях можно ГК-71 заменить на ГУ-13 , но при этом потеряешь в выходной мощности.Вот для сравнения несколько параметров этих ламп. ГК-71. напряжение накала 20вольт, напряжения анода 1500 Вольт, напряжение второй сетки 400 Вольт, напряжение третьей сетки 50Вольт, ток анода 250мА. Теперь лампа ГУ-13. Напряжение накала 10Вольт, напряжение анода 2000 Вольт, напряжение второй сетки 400Вольт, ток анода 50мА. Остальные параметры смотри в справочнике по электронным лампам.
@@МихаилМихаил-б6я Да ты прав, гу-13 не полная копия бит в бит но понятно откуда ноги растут. ГК-71 как раз ставилась в рсб чтоб кинуть накал на бортовое питание 27 вольт а гу-13 переработанный вариант с низким напряжением накала.
Hello Tommy, Love your Station. I am building a power supply for my early ART-13, Collins 52286 ATC to use with my BC348Q. I know that there are connections made with the rcvr, but could you explain how do you get the side tone? Do you have a spotting mod to zero beat? Anyway thank you. 73
I have only connected the rcvr to the the rcvr antenna binding post on the art-13. The 13 has a spot function, namely the calibrate/tune/operate switch. There are provisions for receiver mute in one of the connectors on the side of the 13, and the 13 does provide side tone but I do not use that. Feel better to listen to my own signal.
It is still easier to build yourself with one (or two) 813, modulated plate and screen by a push of 811A, without all this delicat mecanics. And more amateur radio ! Look at ARACCMA. F6BGV

This is one beautiful electronics. Please keep it pristine for future generations.
What a grand old radio set. Transmitter and receiver are works of art.
Now that's heavy duty. I'm humbled and intimidated by this beast. I've only worked simple QRP rigs so far. 73

No, his fist on the straight key is orrible .
I think we should all get back old rigs and home brew rigs.
Great video. Nice ww2 rigs.

Not true, both made few errors during working.

Do you have a РСБ-70 ?
Saw one in Friedrichshafen 2017.

So true... But it was Capitalistic way of development of Radiocommunication. Same as american commercialisation of Amateur Radio on every step...
That was wonderful.

NICE! Real radios glow in the dark.
nice video. Notice xmtr, has CW and MCW, CW on a AM sig. Also nice fist, good CW with bug and key. thanks.
Thanks, yes, the MCW works as it should, however, today it would not be very useful.
Awesome demonstration! Very nostalgic and cool!! Very appropriate radio set to operate on Independence Day!! 73s DE AG4KN - Johnny
Qrk ? Tks la pro
Wow 60 years since I have seen these in operation. Much quieter with out the plate dynamotor. Think there was an antenna tuner for the trailing wire.
I like how you put Ham lingo and CW shortcuts into plain English
He-he, hello there, Jason!
What is complietly wrong and misleading. He also omitted errors which he made...
Standard key on aircraft. No bugs or monkey hallowed
Holy cow. Is that a 5lb solenoid closing every time you press the key? They must not last long like that. It’s louder than the tone
Yes, but probably not noticed when originally used in an aircraft :)

WOW!!! Great Rig! (Fellow LICWC member - KR2NZ)
so the vintage "sci fi" sounds weren't as bogus as i thought
Why is it so chirpy?
Bad 400v power supply regulation. Feeds the oscillator
i had the collins rx before it blew a fuse.
I like...
That is a megatron radio ?.....very cool dude.....👍👍👍
Impressive!
Sounds great... hope you recapped your rig and let it get back to its initial great sound. de KQ2E
Sounds more like a machine gun hi! Thanks for the nice video.
