[TowerTalk] MY 1st Rig

[tommy at k6ye.com]

Joe, Et Al,

Back in the day, my first TX was an Ameco AC-1 and first receiver was a 
Hallicrafters S-85. I upgraded to a National NC-300 RX and a Heathkit 
DX-40 TX. First mobile was a SBE-33. I upgraded TX to a Gonset GSB-100. 
Now I sport a FTDX-5000MP, IC-775-DSP, and, FT-1000D. Tower is an 
HDX-555 with a 4-L SteppIr, OCFD, and a sloper, Changes this year will 
be selling the FT-1000D and replacing with IC-7800. After 60 years, I 
still love Ham Radio, especially CW. Enjoy while you can.

Semper Fi,

Tommy - K6YE
DX OS and CW RULES
