"Boatanchor evening" at SK3BG A lot of hams came to our club this evening. Some had brought their own boatanchors other only to look and remember the old time. SM3MTQ/Dan had travelled from Delsbo it´s about 13 Swedish miles from Sundsvall.

"Boatanchor" is amateur radio slang for heavy old tube radio equipment. Originally derogatory, the term is now used affectionately. Seeing an old set working like new after careful repair, cleaning, and alignment gives one great satisfaction.
