Subject: Updated tube data
Hi all;
I have added some data on EL34/6CA7 on my pages at
http://www.algonet.se/~janax/tubedata.htm
Source is Philips 1958 data book.
I'm constantly updating the pages as soon as I find data on
useful tubes.
Enjoy!

Hi Rich,
Nice to meet you on last night on 7050 khz. W7EKB, Ken was in there but
qrn kept us from making it a threesome.
Seems like 20 meters would be a better place for BA's to meet in the
summer. Less noise and more coverage. Would 14.050 work?
Hope to cuagn. Now, back to work fixin up that ole Knight T-150
transmitter. Ha!

Bry,
By George, you're right. You must have been reading my mind tonight! I've got
a D-104 comming to use with my Knight T-150. I was just sitting here staring
at that connector and wondering what I was going to do. The mic I use now
has a 1/4" plug but the plug part unscrews leaving the correct part to screw
onto the connector on the rig. I really didn't want to remove that connector
from the Shure mic and put it on the D-104 but I figured I'd have to. You
just solved my problem! Thanks.!

does anyone know his e-mail address?
I have heard him near 7050 for several nights, madly calling CQ Cwist. He
doesn't hear me I guess. How much power is he running ?
I am running 15 watts (AN/GRC-109)
