good morning folks
great thread ! similar story here, young teenage years using a Heathkit HR-10 reciever, and DX-40U both purchased second hand. The HR-10 was less than stellar for sideband, it had more drift than a Japanese fishing fleet ! Very early on I was given a battery tube AM / CW transciever, which was used on the South Pole expedition in 1957 (?) with Sir Edmund Hillary. It had huge coloured knobs for use with gloved hands, and a complete set of 1.5volt batt valve spares in the cover. A bit of radio history which sat in a farm shed for years...but being a young keen ham I wrecked it for the variable caps and whatever I could find. A shameful thing to do but probably typical of the era ! cheers from downunder Paul b zl1ajy -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Re-To-those-about-to-rock-we-salute-you-K3-v-K2-tp3949446p3954868.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
