[TowerTalk] MY 1st Rig

[n1bkb at aol.com]

 Ten years later than you, Joe, my novice/technician rig was a Globe Scout 680A xmtr and a National NC-109 rcvr with an Ameco cconverter to shift 6m receive to 40m on the National receiver. Also, a Gonset Communicator II for 2m AM/MCW.  I used to buy the xmt crystals for the station at an WWII electronics surplus store on Arch Street in Philadelphia.
Good memory but ancient history at this point.
73,
Steve - N1BKB

 WAY BACK IN 1955 (NOVICE LICENSE - MY FIRST), MY 1ST TX WAS A WRL GLOBE SCOUT 65A; RX WAS EITHER A NATIONAL NC-88 OR HALLICRAFTERS SX-99.    IT'S JUST TOO LONG AGO TO REMEMBER FOR SURE.....I LATER ON HAD A DRAKE 4B-LINE THAT I GOT WHILE IN KH6 IN '70.- GREAT RIG, TOO.  LONG AFTER an SR-150, CE10A & 20A, SW-400. & SX-101 (MK III); ONE OF MY EARLY RIGS TOO WAS AN HT-37; TERRIBLE TX - AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED!!!  TODAY, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY SDR (FLEX 6700)
