Hello David and all:

David your e-mail bounced!

The reason the old 30 amp Generator was replaced was the new fangled
Alternators where hitting the market, that had twice or even more
current capability. And in order to charge the Battery the engine had to
have more RPM's than just a idle. Where the Alternator would charge the
Battery when the engine was just idling, and again had twice the current.

I guess Ford Motor Company didn't think the Ford Pick Up Trucks needed a
Alternator. Remember this was a 1964 Custom Cab F100, and didn't have a
lot of fancy devices that took a lot of current. The old 30 Amp
Generator had to run the engine, charge the battery, running lights and
a old Tube Radio, and windshield wipers if it rained, so not a lot of
stuff running off the generator.

But the new installed Alternator did have a higher voltage allowing the
Palomar 150 Tube Linear Amplifier to run even better with probably
around 14 volts to it. The Transistorized switching power supply did
make a whining noise. And it got louder with the new alternator.

In dear ol Dads truck ran a old Pace II-S a 12 channel radio, driving
the Palomar 150 amp. Into a M125 Antenna, and yeah it got out pretty well.

Now theres guys out there with 200 and 300 amp alternators running
transistorized and Tube amps. I never get tried of viewing all the
hardware at the Breaks and Shootouts.

But all new vehicles come with a Alternator now I believe.

Sure was. Down at Mojave Trails park at Victorville for the 40th anniversary
of the Bronco. Hanging out with Parnelli Jones, Willie Stroppe, Gale Pike,
Rod Hall, James Duff, Ray Harvick. Got down through your part late on
Tuesday, but headed by on the way home around 1pm Yesterday.
Gave a shout for you on 17, 19 & 14 but no luck. Hey, what the heck
are those buildings down the road a ways from you on the top of that
plateau?
It was east & south of "Rocket" something road.

Landshark

Hello Landshark:

Oh that must be the old Rocketdyne rocket engine test zone or
something?!?!?!?

That would be a trick place to have a repeater, but I thinks its all
closed down. Been years since I even seen it.

Give me a call on 38 LSB.

hey sharkie, that park you went to is where i learned to ride an enduro
motorcycle. that was back in the early 80's. victorville was nothing of
a town, basically dependent on george air force base. went back 4 years
ago and it has withered even further. drove through jays area several
times. that is a podunk town, no offense jay.

Hello jim:

OH YEAH!

Just wait till both Police cars show at the same time, and they take
their bullets out of their shrit pockets, and we'll see about a podunk town.

No offense taken.

Jay in the Great Mojave Desert, ....just down the road ah ways from the
fillin station.

I guess, but your right about the kick a@$ place to modulate. Might be
heading through again in a few weeks to go to Big Bear, I'll give
you shout if that happens.
