Surprised you never figured it out as soon as I posted a dash

I was taught by an uncle when I was a kid, but I have to confess, I don't recall much of it from then. Then in a previous job, my manager turned out to be a big amateur radio enthusiast and was quite into it. When he wasn't trying to bounce radio signals off the moon with some crazily powerful home made antenna array, that is. And in case you wondered, it was actually part of a legitimate competition, nothing tinfoil-hat related. He had some dodgy former soviet era RF 2.5kW power amplifier valve tubes delivered to work one day. At least that's what he said they were. They looked like fat ceramic sparkplugs with massive copper heatsinks. They wouldn't have looked out of place in a vault-tec installation

Hi,

Yes those were klystron tubes, and I know what you mean by trying to bounce rf off the moon. We once made an antenna out of an old umbrella (steel ribs with tin foil) and picked up the astronauts radio signals out of one of the old Apollo flights. Couldn't believe that our design worked, but it only worked if you followed the signal with a tracker, or tracer, we had to watch the needle to see if the RF was getting stronger or weaker and then move the antenna with our hands until the signal picked up.

Ahhh the good old days.

I couldn't say, but they looked a bit like these:


...only with a dull copper heatsink rather than whatever aluminium (or similar) that appears to be. For scale, the heatsink was a good 5 inches in diameter.

Quite. These days, if there isn't an "app for it", people aren't interested
