Had a similar one and junked it out. Could have been from a BC-610
transmitter. Somewhat less than half of the weight was copper. The primary
winding wire was not round, but about 1/4 inch square. (Big & heavy) The
secondary wire is still in service as radials here in Belfast, Maine. Take
care not to injure your back when lifting
73 Bruce-K1FZ Just curious, do you have any idea how much copper would be in a big old WW II plate xfmr that weighs 107 lbs?Any guess?Rick K2XT _________________ Topband Reflector |
