Amateur Radio WAØJCV
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 a bit of the Heath station collection... SB101 in the center
and some of its cousins grouped around it for support. Add the
SB303 and 401 and some monitors and power amps and it's
coming. It's time for a second operating position!
It seems the Philcos found their way to the collection, also. Some are still in the restoration stage.
Top, Philco cathedral 60, 20, 50 and an Atwater Kent tombstone.
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 - still runs!
