Wow, the Apache was my dream transmitter back then, you lucky dog you!
 
 
 What was even luckier was that a local TV announcer had a Tech license 
and had been studying for years for his General, had bought an SX-101 
but couldn't pass the code test. So after years of trying, he loaned 
that SX-101 to me! I was a high school senior. I moved away after my 
college years, so I don't know if he ever passed it. Nice guy, Dean 
Sturm, K8CYW.
 BTW -- that first BC459 was given to me by another local ham, Andy 
Spangler, W8IEQ, along with a power supply that he had built for it.
