1750 Meter Band

When I was in my teens I saw an article in the Popular Electronics, Jan. of 1972 issue, by Jim White, W5LET, called "The Neglected Band Transmitter".
I was very interested as that time I was also intersested in working as a DJ at a radio station. Long story
short I fell in love with transmitters. I always wanted to make that transmitter but fell short of money and parts. I had no job etc. I did eventually make a transmitter very similar to that one and It really worked well.
Only problem was i used it illegally on the Broadcast Band 540 KHz- 1610 KHz back then. (1710 KHz now).
I still have a beat up diagram of the transmitter and most of the parts list. I will redraw as soon as I can and
post it here. I have also made a converter to hear the band in my youth. I will try and reproduce it again, only
with better results I am sure. I used a CB radio as that was popular, as the receiver. I would very much like to experiment again with the band until I get tired of monkey-ing with it. I have an idea I want to try since I was a teen and never did. I will present it here for you to look at. I cant say my projects or my knowledge
is top notch, but then again that is the fun of doing such things and knowing, nomatter who you are, there is always somebody that knows more than you. I like to share info so I can know what you know and so on.
Makes for a fun adventure when you can take an idea and see something from it that turns into another idea.
It's great fun! I dont know what is so fun about transmitting or anything of the sort but it just is. It is like other things one does and dont know why that would be interesting. I cant see how staring at stars in interesting. It is to a certain extent but if you dont have the equipment, how far can you go. I guess you can
build more telescopes. I like to look at stars too, but I get my excitement by doing stuff. The end result of which something works, I hope. Like a metal detector, build one, great fun for awhile then I'm bored and need to try and build somthing else, maybe a pirate transmitter, well not really, but I have when I was younger. I would like to stay within the law now and see how far I can transmit. I guess that is the fun in it for me now. To see how far one can transmit on the least amount of power or most legally. To build the transmitter is a challenge, and to see how far you can go is another. I also want to share what I do know, however small it may be, with others with the same interest. So here we are. I will post the projects as I
go for you to see what is going on. For now July 2009 I have to finish building a shed for my radio stuff, that I use to gather parts from. I like to build thimngs from scratch. I still buy things I need as always, but I can still save some money by using recycled electronic parts. So keep checking back when you can to see If I have started this project.

Update: I have found the old diagram I have saved for almost 40 years (Why?). It's almost all there and I will redraw it with the parts list later but here is the scanned image. Remeber copiers were not as good as today either as you can tell. Here is the pdf file of what is left of the diagram.
