That's rather difficult (truly, vacuum sucks)...but much, much easier than first creating ultra-pure silicon and then doping the microscopic areas on it to become the solid-state device you need. [sorry you can't build "spark" transmitters...those being forbidden in these modern times unlike a hundred years ago] It's so easy to look up facts nowadays, I'm surprised that you were unable to find this: "A 17-year-old named Haddaway had built his entire station from absolute scratch, including the making of his own vacuum tubes...." QST February 1921. See? Fact, not an opinion attempted to be passed as a fact. You should try that sometime. But then that would be impossible for you, for you'd have to list references. did you check the date? are you aware of the current date? can you in fact read what lens writes? you tnagental responses are looking like stevie of number of years back, things have not turned out wel for him He never said someone could not make a vacum tube, indeed I suspect that some my own gear could the job fair well with some adaption (a vacuam system able to do metal dosipiting on telscope mirror should be ale to manage it) you over look the point, which sesm to be your specail forte? the tech is anceint obselte while not usless, but certainly not of generla interest to all hams Jeff KH6O -- Chief Petty Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Mathematics Lecturer, University of Hawaii System again where was the motivation petty officer and lectureur? |
