I
started out with my first Heath station in 1966 - an early SB-100 transceiver.
There's nothing like warm glow of those tubes while operating those evening
hours.

Here is the beginning of the Heath
station collection a few months ago. With an SB101 in the center
and some of its cousins,
it's the start. An SB100 is on the bench under reconstruction and
soon the entire SB line will be a fully working station. It's time
to get these things organized a bit !
Special thanks to GARY, K5JWK
for all the proof-reading and help in aquisitions!
The collection expands and finds a new set of shelves....
Some of the mostly Philco's that have caught
my eye. Some still in the restoration stage.
Top, Philco cathedral 60, 20, 50 and an Atwater
Kent tombstone.
Then the Heath shelves... top - SB-401, 620 (with
650 on top), 610, 630, HM/HD 15.
bottom: SB-600 / SB-303
/ SB-101 / SB-200
Finally a few real BA's with my original Ranger
I (always fully operational), SX-100, SB-100
Hallicrafters S-20R,
Johnson Navigator and an old Grebe Synchrophase (cool).
Other than homebrew rigs, this was my first
transmitter: Johnson Viking Ranger
I spent a lot of hours running this guy, both
CW and Phone... sort of deserves
its own web page one of these first days!
Now I need more shelves and more space as the
workbench is also full.
