Here's who checked in today:
KF0AM:
Bob, from nnnnorthern Minn. used his KWM-2 and SB 220. It sure
sounded really nice. He just acquired a FRDX 400 and is now looking for
the matching transmitter. Good luck Bob.
WA4TIL:
Manson showed off his 700CX today and was working on a 500CX that
needed some new caps. Nice signal even on a day where propagation was awful.
W4FMX:
Gary has a whole variety of fine old gear and also has a variety of fine
old knowledge to go with it. Don't be afraid to ask for advice because
he is very helpful. Thanks Gary.
WB5TWC:
Benton hails from west of Chicago. He has a pile of heath gear and was
using one of his SB-104's which sounded really good. Good copy.
K5LYN:
Lynn, southern net control, was spoiling himself with his KWM2 and
30S1. Lynn thinks the tube is konking out as it was running a puny 500
watts. My best amp can hardly do that on a good day.
K7TNJ:
Bob, stopped by; but, forgot to mention his gear of which he has a pile.
He is the only person I know who owns a working Alda transceiver. CU Bob.
N40SJ:
Greg, Atlanta, played his nice C-Line and used his new Lazy H antenna.
Greg has a knack for making wire antennas work.
N8XIW:
Bill was using his KWM 2 and is still working on it. It didn't sound
like there was anything wrong with it on this end. Thanks Bill.
KC5RR:
Gary, resident Drake freak and repair guru played another of his Drakes.
He has probably worked on and fixed one of everything Drake ever made.
W8UT:
Al, N.C., Played his HT 32 and got through on a day that was really
tough from the east coast. He just picked up a HQ 150 and R4B. Al is a
boatanchor magnet.
W3FYA:
Doc stopped by with his HW 101A today. Good to hear you on from the
east coast which wasn't coming in worth a hoot.
W8RZW:
Jeff,from Detroit, was using a S-Line. Jeff is a big Collins fan and I
would be too if I could afford it. Thanks Jeff.
K9FOH:
Bob, from Ind., was also using a S-Line. He also has a freebie meter
for a Hammarlund receiver. What a guy. Thanks Bob.
WB9RWW
Gale, from Wisc. checked in and is still looking for an HG-10 VFO and Crystal Calibrator
for a HR-10. Any help?
AK7R:
Jeff, from Las Vegas, used a FT 101. He wanted to know what one of
those was worth. Anywhere from $5 to $10000. Anymore who knows?
K0TNP:
Don, from Harlingen, TX. and repairman extraordinare played his very
nice sounding HT 37 and I couldn't hear the other sideband. I should
have him work on mine. Thanks Don.
KG7TR:
Mike stopped in using his home brew 50 watt rig. The copy was good on a
very bad day. It really sounded nice. Take care Mike.
WB6MWL:
Jay joined in with his Swan 600 twins. What a nice pair of radios and
they sounded just great. Thanks Jay.
WB5PQX:
The relay from my derelict HT 37 went to this fine QTH and will soon
reside in a rebuilt HT 37. Thanks for the checkin.
See you all next Sunday and have a good week. 73 de Andy WB0SNF
