Nice!
You should look into some modern transceivers...you'll have a lot more space on that desk with the sizes of those!

Welcome to the hobby,
73's

 

why modern ? BOATANCHORS RULE ! LOL

 

Yeah Modern finals cant handle much . with tubed finals they can handle a lot of punishment and they are easier to fix then Solid state . Hollow state also sounds great! i would be interested in a Hybrid though ( tube finals ) but not right now Long live Hollow state! . Here in NL used gear does not come up very often . and plus i dont have anymoney so this radio station is all donations and it makes me proud of it . i am not impressed with people that have 8 or 9 radios that do the same thing i think its a waste of money . 1 radio for HF one radio for 2 M is all i need and all i want . well . thought i do have a 6 Meter radio and i wouldent mind a 70CM radio . but they are useless here as no one uses thoses bands . only HF and 2 Meters .

 

yeah , same here , GXG . right now , i have a 2 meter/6meter/70cm handheld . it was a hand-me-down.   i dont have enough money for a full HF radio, but i have a QR666 reciever and i saw a 1watt CW rig using a 1S4 and four other components and i plan to build that . you have a lot of radios ,right?i can give you the circuit for that transmitter .you probably have all the components in your junkbox.


EDIT: its a CW only , so thats where the trusty code comes handy

 

Well I prefer code,
it is easy to copy even when the band is junk

 

don't tell me ve6wii is your new call kyle...
awesome!

 

VE6WII wasent issued so says the RAC call book and callsign.ca

 

Wow, we have a genius in the group...
I paid for the call and it is pending
My current call is VE6WTF

Oh and add a brand new IC-729 to the list of gear.

And an 80m 1/4 verticle

in the process of building a 6 element 6m beam

And raising a 68 ft tower that I got just recently

 

I'm not quite youth any more (I've passed the quarter-century mark), but I'm also a boatanchor enthusiast.

The SSB station:
SB-401 transmitter
SB-301 receiver
SB-610 scope
SB-600 speaker
SB-630 console
SB-110 vhf transceiver
all of which now have right-color cabinets, though not all the same "right color"

The lightweight AM station:
Ranger (I) transmitter
HQ-110 receiver

The heavy AM station:
Viking II transmitter
NC-300 receiver

The portable SSB station:
HW-101 transceiver

The mobile HF station:
TS-50 transceiver
AT-50 autotuner
yeah, it's solid-state, but these stupid new cars don't have room for a "compact mobile rig" of years gone by like a KWM-2.
