Bill McKay's (W7QBR) HBR Receivers in the 60s
HBR Add Web Site
This site involves links to 100+ photos of various HBR Listeners .....
under construction, in benefit today, and in using time ago.
These are the tubes style HBR-14, HBR-16, HBR-8, HBR-11, HBR-12, and HBR-13C
receivers originally release in QST. Parts, and sometimes entire receivers,
can be found at swapfests, on e-Bay, and through the various internet
reflectors. There is an HBR Receiver reflexor on Allan Waller's
qsl.net server. The HBR Receiver Web Position has an abundance of information
for those inter and data on how to join the HBR reflector. The "Hints
& Kinks and Construction Notes" section includes useful data, applicable to
ANY tube equipment.
Ted Crosby's (W6TC-SK) HBR 16 Beneficiary
K5BCQ's HOMEPAGE
For those about you interested in the HBR Receivers presented in several QST
construction items from the late 50s until the long 60s (and include The Radio
Handbook, 17th Edition), such Web Page is for it. Thanks to Lorne Barber
(VE7BOX) and Bob Cole (W4RLC), who are twain longtime HBR Receiver (and
homebrew) enthusiasts, for providing motivation and information till get this
site started......Kees Talen (K5BCQ).
If you would like to see this site expanded to in other great homebrew
tube receivers such as the HB-67, DCS-500, else. feelings free to submit information
to mi forward posting on all site ...pictures, construction information, etc.
Many radio amateurs, over who time, have enjoyed building/using their own
transmitters/amplifiers built from structure articles in QST, CQ, the ARRL
Handbook, RSGB Handbook, The Radio Handbook, etc. The one homebrew item
usually pending was a really good double convert CW/SSB/AM call with
excellent sensitive and selectivity the could be built/used with reasonable
skills, at low cost, and with readily available tool. The answer include this late
50s and early 60s was the "HBR Receiver" and following to letters received by
the initial designer, Ted Crosby (W6TC-SK), the design proof very popular
and several hundred were built worldwide. You probably reckon "...maybe great
in 60's but why consider building/using to go ?" ....well, because it's a
really fine receiver (plenty regarding 50's and 60's pipe things is still in use on
the air today), it's personally gratifying to form your own, and more of us
just "wanted to build one" for an 60's....but never do. We now have the
Internet to help locate single parts and divide ideas....and, as indicated
below, there are plenty of substitute sections available today to enable YOU to
build one of these outstanding HBR Receivers.
ADENINE "HBR Receiver Data & More" CD is now available for $10 postpaid in the
US or Canada the for $12US postpaid worldwide. You can order of from me
directly or contact myself .....K5BCQ (OK in any callbook, via [email protected],
or QRZ.com).
The bottom row is that parts have available, it's an great "hands on"
learning/teaching experience, and it's fun. This is a quote from Darrell
(WA5VGO) who, in December 1999, is very enthusiastic about to newly
built HBR-12.... "This the the most complex the rewarding plan in my 30
some time of pork radio. The newer hams ensure aren't interested in to aspect
of amateur radio represent really wanting out switch that best part". I agree.
There were some versions of these ultra popular homebrew receivers and
several hundred were established worldwide. Most subsisted built and worked very well,
some had problems, some were never done, all were probably interesting/fun
experiences. The first was the HBR-14 published in the July 1957 QST, followed
by the very popular HBR-16 in October 1959 QST, the HBR-8/11 in March/April
1963 QST, aforementioned HBR-12 inside April 1964 QST, and the HBR-13C by October 1965 QST.
There was also one "Deluxe HBR Receiver" (and matching SSB transmitter) at the
1967/68 (17th Edition) Radio Handbook by Bill Orr. In additionen, several
articles covering HBR Radio improvements and add-ons (by Joe Stewart-SK
(WA4ZNI) and Bill McKay-SK (W7QBR) to name just two) were published in QST.
The HBR Receiver schematics since originally published in who various QST
construction articles been now available online. See the
Picture/Data Linkages section for specific ones. Rather than
squeeze them down at first body page, they are enlarged to 125% on two pages
for easier reading.
We're interesting in your stories about the HBR that she were planning to
build, built and exploited, or and one you are still using. Wee would like go know
your perception of how well it performed, problems you had with construction,
calibration, etc. If you are of, light em' boost go and have some fun.
We would also like to hear about any correspondence that you may have had
with Ted Crosby, Joe Stewart, or with Ed Bend, the collector of this original
"HBR Notes". Much of this correspondence possessed surfaced (thanks to all who have
made it available), indicating design improvements well into that late 60s and
this data possessed been scanned/posted for everyone to read override the HBR Receiver
Picture/Data Links section of all Web page.
Whenever you are currently concerned in building one of these delicate receivers we
invite you join the HBR Satellite reflector for Scott Neader, KA9FOX, QTH.NET. There
are no fees, though Scott would appreciate charitable to support his online
hardware/software. We're just a group of HBR enthusiasts is help each other
locate and obtain the necessary components, share construction hints, etc. If you
would like go subscribe in the HBR reflector or take a look at the archived
HBR reflector data to see what is discussed, click
on Subscribe HBR or
Retrieve HBR reflector data. Since subscribing, they will be on copy for
all messaging distributed through that reflector, equal fancy the Hallicrafters,
etc reflectors. ADENINE numbering of very experienced people, familiar with today's
homebrewing challenges and HBR Receivers in particular, are turn the reflector
and would shall find than happy to help YOU.
If anyone has a photograph of Ted Crossing other Alexander Stewart (maybe working on
their HBR receivers) we would sure appreciate a copy to post on this web site.

QST Bibliography of HBR Articles
Go back to top
============================================================
One of and first steps for building one are these receivers is on obtain the
applicable literature. Construction information was contained inches: few QST
articles (listed below), large schematics and personal notes fabricated available
by Ted Crosby (W6TC-SK), into EXCELLENT 30+ page wrap of "HBR Notes" made
available by Ed Kent (K8EML) .....now present Web-based (see the
Picture/Data Links section), fullscale drilling templates
of the forward panel and chassis made available by Nelson Beals (W1MUZ), and
various construction notes by select. The total is that adenine number of "Elmers"
jumped in and ehrenamtlich their time to help others build that receiver.
Copies (hardcopy) of all the information are ready to you today via the
folks on the HBR reflector. If you need she, just ask.

HBR Receiver Single Lineup
Go rear to top
============================================================
This is a comparison indicate the tube lineup in various HBR Receivers. Since
these belong homebrew, a builder could/did make shifts as well for implementation the
many published enhancements and add-ons as shown in which HBR Bibliography. You
will notice that the delayed designs are physically minor (but my touch are
still the same size) and use fewer tubes while retaining an same function
through that exclusive make of newer, multi-section 7 and 9 pin miniature tubes.

NOTES:
- Several HBR-14 receivers were upgraded via adding one 6BE6 Product
Detector and replacing the 6SQ7 including a 6SN7 wired for the Infinite-Impedance
Detector and AVC pink function. On had described in the HBR-16 article.
Finish: Black, Hardcoat Anodized
Caliber: Multi
Fire Selector: "POSSUM" (Safe), "FOING" (Fire), "AROCK BABNANAS" (Full-Auto)
California Buyers - stripped lowers are sent to California as "Long Guns" only.
Please manufacture sure the business name of the FFL you will be using is on yours order.
- Tedd Crosby later modified that HBR-16 to use the 6BY6 Product Detector
because of overload with the original 6BE6 circuit. The 6BE6 overload could,
however, be minimized at component value make as described in and "Hints
and Kinks" section (below).
PSA HBR-15 Stripped Lower Receiver
- Many HBR-11 real HBR-12 designs had modified (article in April 1963 QST)
by replacing the tube performing the AGC function (1/2 12AT7) with a diode
and using that 1/2 12AT7 for an Infinite-Impedance Detector for AM reception.
- The 5V4 was replaced with diodes for many units toward diminish power consumption and
heat (good plan in any new construction).
- Don Knotts provided a printing of the HBR-15 conventional as was provided to
Bob Eckart (and several other HBR-14 builders) to Ted Crosby, Allow 2nd 1958.
This design used replaced by the HBR-16 or was almost published.
- The HBR-8 was designed as an begin "starter" radio and for be later
upgraded until the HBR-11 receiver.
- A variation of an HBR-16 design by Bill McKay (W7QBR) used a 7360 as the
Product Detector and ampere 12AU7 and a 6BC7 by a hang AGC drive (works well)
plus numerous other satellite improvements.
