[KB5YKL]

My first station was a alenco dj180 handy hooked up to a ringo antenna..I had to wait 3mo. to get my ticket..I almost worked that mail box to death checking it several times a day.. It was sooooo hard to just set and hear the hams chatting in our town...when it came i was one happy camper..thats my story and im sticking to it...bill

Mine was a Yaesu FT 2800M. Using an arrow J-POLE. I had to wait about 3 hrs from the time i took my test till my license showed up in the data base.

Mine was a Yaesu FT-470, 2M/70cm, mag mount antenna and a 12 volt, 10amp power supply. I still have these items. The FT-470 is a great HT.

Kenwood TS-450S I still have it, but it's set up for PSK and RTTY now.

Transmitter: Heathkit DX-40 with VF-1 VFO
Receiver: National NC-183 (wish I still had it)

Both were purchased from local hams with money I earned on my paper route.

Icom IC-7000 - Sold that in a matter of months.

Now I have moved up to a kenwood TS-830s and a Hallicrafters s-20r.

Here are photos of the equipment first use as a Novice Class licensee (May 1959) and then after I got my General Class license (October 1959).

I need to find the photos of my original station setup.

Glen,

I just looked at Ham Radio Deluxe recently for the first time and was blown away with the pics of amateur radio stations folks have. Very impressive to say the least.

Thanks for including your pics. Your amateur radio roots were humble as evidenced by your pics. You should throw a current pic on for us to see the before and after.

Thanks Glen,
