[TenTec] CW Mobile

[rick@dj0ip.de]

Now that's showing your age Joe!
The AF-67 was my favorite AM TX.  We used to call it the poor man's Viking
Ranger.
I think I read a few years ago where someone had resumed building or was
building a copy of the Master Mobile.

Plus think how cool it is for the person your talking to on the other 
end to know your talking with someone doing CW mobile.   I want to 
practice at doing it some more to get better at it.  I think a nice 
Elmac AF-67 with a PMR-6 receiver would be fun to use!   Oh, can't 
forget the Master Mobile antenna!
