Codar AT5 group
Just a heads-up to let any owners of the vintage AT5 AM/CW 160/80m amateur radio transmitter know that there is a facebook group for us.
It's been around for a few years, but don't think it publicised itself much when it launched and still doesn't have much traffic. Link here: https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=codar%20at5 Ian |

Re: Codar AT5 group
Oh, OK. It works for me, but maybe that's because I'm a member. In that case just search "Codar AT5" in the facebook top left search box.

Re: Codar AT5 group
Sorry Ian, I eventually got the page by logging into facebook first.
Cheers Aub

Re: Codar AT5 group
Ah, the AT5. I had one (complete with PSU) back in the early 70's. It was er..taken off me by the Men from the Ministry when (in an emergency) I pressed it into service on the MW band one Sunday morning.

Re: Codar AT5 group
Oh yes, they had a reputation for alternative uses on a Sunday morning.
Ray's Radio Workshop Youtube channel has a video devoted to the AT5, and he also has videos devoted to those other 'Sunday Morning' exploits from the distant past - plus a few radio-related ghost stories... Ian Last edited by Ian - G4JQT; 20th Jul 2018 at 1:15 pm. |
