Re: Vintage AM station

Every time I see one of those I think back to the time I built one
from a kit. Was still in high school. I was so proud of that
transmitter. Used crystals initially before I modified an ARC-5
transmitter as a VFO. Of course those days are gone forever, but
there is nothing to compare them to these days.

Ralph W4ZO came over this afternoon with my Viking transmitter
in the trunk of his Crown Vic.
After some adjusting of the contacts on the Dow-Key relay
it's on the air.
You can see a photo of the AM station here,

It's sitting on the right hand side of my big green chair.
The rest of the ham shack is on the left side.

If 75 meters gets a little less noisy maybe I find make some
QSOs.

3.885, really 3.88456 according to the freq counter.
