I\u2019m scheduled to tour the Civilian Conservation Corps. Camp at Bear Brook State Park here in NH on Monday. This is the largest totally intact camp in the country.<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

I will be activating POTA with the 1930s portable Station. The POTA CCC Camp event is scheduled for Monday around 2:30 ET (if I get everything setup after the camp tour). Primary 7057 kHz Sec 7054 kHz.<\/u><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/u> <\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

The station is an internal battery powered, push-pull Jones Oscillator Transmitter at around 3 Watts out, and a two-tube regenerative receiver that is a period ham artifact. So, four type 30 battery tubes in total.<\/u><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

The antenna is a single wire feed Windom with suspended counterpoise so basically an Off Center Fed Hertz (OCFH).<\/u><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/u> <\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Between the weather, running the station, logging, and doing camera work, and of course, MURPHY – this should be nuts.<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

1930s Regen with Transmitter \u2013 Fully Self-Contained Portable. Note Charger that is attached to top off the internal battery on transmitter. I did not buy the proscribed 25 9V Batteries and make a TX HV pack up! I used a DC-DC converter and a LiPO drone battery! The Receiver is 100% Dry Cells However.<\/u><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
