Calling CQ on 3550khz +or- with 1920s QRP rig

[ve3lyx]

I built this 1920s Cw rig last weekend. It uses a single 01A vacuum tube and is what was called back then a TGTP (tuned grid, tuned plate). I have it to the point now I am happy with it and am testing on air immediately. I need a signal report. It will sound raspy and perhaps a bit raw to some but it should be good for a few hundred miles ATCF if past efforts count. Its main purpose is for vintage weekend QSO partys Like the Bruce Kelly event which finishes this weekend however I need to test t to be sure it is working so I need some willing ears. I should be sending a CQ with in 5 minutes of this post.

Last weekend was the BK Memorial contest limited to contact between transmitters using design and tubes available before 1929. Power input limited to 10 watts and power out 5 watts or less. I have three such rigs now. Two built this month. I was able to work a few stations on 80M Saturday and some of the same stations on 40m sunday. I used all three rigs at some point during the weekend. A TNT (tuned plate not tuned grid) with a  45 tube running 9.3 watts in and about 3.5 out using a single 45 tube. A Hartley osc running a 01A tube with 5.3 watts in and about 2 out and a TGTP (tuned grid tuned plate) running a 01Atube at 5.6 watts in and slightly over 2 watts out. All contacts were done on a long wire, no tuner required. Average contact distance was about 400 miles ATCF. A lot of fun to say the least.
