I'm seriously considering getting a ham license. So far, the only thing
holding me back is learning Morse code for CW.

Do a search on Code Quick. I think the URL is www.codequick2000.com or
something like that. It's a combination audio/visual/tactile system
that teaches you how to copy morse code as if it were words and not
beeps.

Worked great for me, I tried for 29 years and never was able to get anywhere
near 5 wpm. With code quick I was able to pass the 13wpm test and at my
peak copy at 35wpm.

Best $50 I ever spent on the hobby.

Heck your hot mail dont work my links dont work. so try nj7p's tube
data web page I'm sure it has a link to an RCA tube manual. In the back
of the RCA tube manual is many a circuit an the older the manaul the
better the tube circuits are or were. I recall a converter or two back
in the day, all tube radio, on a points/distributor ignition system
car, yeah vibrators those were the days. You know the trick to clean
the contacts on a vibrator 100 watt light bulb in series with the coil
and plug it into the mains

Then just about the time tung sol invented the 12VDC plate voltage
tube, transistors took over.
I even know how to make a tube out of a dual filament car taillight.
Now there's a real tube.
