Me too -- my first station was a surplus BC-459 Command set for 40M,
modified and given to me by one of the hams in the club that taught me
CW and radio theory, and an S38D receiver. On a trip to Manhattan, my
dad later bought me an ARC5 for 80M for which he paid about $15 from a
shop on "radio row" in lower Manhattan that advertised in the back pages
of QST. He described it as pretty rough territory. A few years of
saving from summer jobs got me much better receiver, a BC348.

When I was in high school my first station was Collins S Line and a triband
beam on a 50 foot tower. Also, a Viking 500.
