Hello ADARC Members,

Mike Alexander has offered a vintage Hammarlund HQ-110A AM/CW receiver to anyone in the club who may be interested. He would prefer that it go to a ham radio enthusiast rather than be discarded.

According to Mike:

• Model: Hammarlund HQ-110A
• All tubes are present.
• The tube filaments light up.
• The rectifier tube has been replaced with silicon diodes.
• Without an antenna connected, the receiver produces audio from the speaker.
• The frequency calibration feature produces its normal calibration tone.
• Overall operating condition is unknown.
• Original owner’s manual and schematic diagram are included.

Mike is currently offering the receiver free of charge before considering disposal. Photos from his August 12 email are attached for reference.

If you are interested, please contact:

All,

This is early notice that Roger will be out of town next week and I will be committed to a photography gig on Thursday and Friday nights next week.

Therefore, we will cancel the Tech Night on August 13 and resume in September with the next TECH NIGHT.

As for repeater update.

We have a quote of $1700 to climb the County radio tower and install an antenna, provide 200’ of 7/8” Hardline with connectors, and a standoff for our DB-224E antenna, donated by Eric Corin.

In addition, the first Quantar repeater had the Power Amplifier fail at 13 months, which was well out of warranty. The repair costs on that was $650 counting shipping back to Sunny Communications.

We have a pledge of $850 toward the global cost and the Club has ~$2400 in the bank.

So, we can fund this effort but any and all donations toward the effort to move the PJ Repeater onto the County tower, and leave a full backup setup at Daniel’s, will be appreciated.

We are also looking at a duplexer for Daniel’s location.

73s,

W5WUP
