Re: Weird experiments as a beginner in this hobby
Well, if it's any consolation, I did build my first valve transmitter at age 14.
2m AM, 15 watts and the all important 350v ht line.
Got one mighty boot off it when I went to adjust the PA stage - metal cased mike in one hand and bare-handed went to adjust one of the beehive output trimmers I thought was grounded on the adjustable part (it was, but I hadn't counted on all that RF floating around).
Mike went in one direction, the Tx another and me diagonally away from both (it survived by the way).
