ham radio

I do remember Dick Bash, KL7??? who started the whole licencing uproar. I think he finally got his tech licence pulled for some silly reason. Yes, I love them boat anchors too. Hollow state technology with the warm glow of filaments is so nostalgic. I personally will have a boat anchor station set up. Drake 2B and a Central Electronics 100V transmitter tied into a Johnson Desk Kilowatt. I heven have the Ranger exciter to run it as a KW plate modulated if necessary (now illegal). Yes, I do have rice boxes as well, but there is no challenge to those. But they are nice mobile. I challenge all of you out there to get a ham licence, no code or even the 5 wpm. The 5 wpm is no barrier -- anyone can learn that in a few weeks a couple nights a week. C U on the bands . . .
