Welcome to my ham shack
Amateur Radio has proven to be a great hobby over the years.   As of May 11, 1999 I have been licensed for 40 years.  During that time, I have lived in three call areas and held the calls K9SGK, WA0JXV, and W8GXN.  In past days we were allowed to apply for "second station" calls as we moved around, which meant that the original (or primary) call could be retained.  In my case, my original call was K9SGK, and I am now back in the "9" call area.  (Though that doesn't count for much anymore).

My interests now lean toward the "boat anchor" type equipment.  I definitely like radios that "glow in the dark".
If it were anybody but you coming in here, I'd feel compelled to appologize for the mess, but as a ham yourself, I know that you understand.  Please feel free to look around and see if there's anything that interests you.
 

      There's my old Trimm Featherweight headphones
      that I used in the 50's and early 60's.  They sure
      don't make them like that anymore.
                                                                                 

 
                                                                                                 Before there were transistors or other "solid state"
                                                                                                                         devices radio used "valves" or tubes.  This is an
                                                                                                                         especially old one that I've collected.
 
                                                                               

     What you see here is the Ace 3B receiver and the spark gap that my uncle used to communicate during the 1920's

                           
 

 

           I told you that I like "boat anchors" That's a Hammarlund
           SP600JX-17 that I'm in the process of restoring.  It's a great
          general coverage receiver, and even includes the 6m band.

  
 


    This receiver was manufactured by the Electrovoice RME
division in the early 1960's.  It's the model 4350.  I love the tuning dial.

    

Thanks for the "Eyeball QSO".  I'm sorry you couldn't stay longer, but you're welcome anytime you're in the neighborhood.  When you come back next time we'll continue the search through my "junk box".  You never know what you'll find.
