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.

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. Posted by u/JasonFischer774 - No votes and 3 comments


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.

============================================================

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. The 5V4 was replaced with diodes for many units toward diminish power consumption and heat (good plan in any new construction).
  5. 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.
