Does anyone else remember or have a Wireless Set Nr. 19?
Built during WW2 for the Canadian Army Armoured Corps and our Soviet
Allies [it had Russian and English markings],
it was a transceiver, weighed a lot, and I cut my teeth on one. Covered
ALL ham bands [between 2 and 8 Mc/s].
Most repairs

I used to have a Nr. 19 set complete with the English and Russian writing on
it. I had it on a sturdy table in my bedroom and used it to listen to the
ham bands and some shortwave stations.

I tinkered with a WS19 and had it on the air and worked a few people
with it. I found out the hard way that there is full transmitter B+ on
the key. Ouch!

I spent many hours under the hot African sun in Natal South Africa during
the 1940s using the 19, which was the beast which those of us in the
signals group of my school's cadet corp had to use. The 19s which we had
included the VHF B, and during one exercise a school friend and I
discovered
Are you ever dating yourself :)Did the Brits ever get those early
National military receivers to use, or did only the Yanks have them?

A buddy and I both had one in the 1950's. Yes, we chirped our way onto 40
meter CW with them but most challenging was using that 220 MHz modulated
oscillator transceiver built in for tank-to-troop walkie-talkie contacts. It
is tuned by the vertical thumbwheel on the left part of the panel.

I do. It was a cheap way to get a receiver at the time [very young
teenagerhood] down at Surplus Sams on Pico Blvd in LAX. I had one,
thought myself fortunate when I later inherited an SA-28 to replace
8 matches
