Another (or two) projects.

On my recent visit to Arizona, I re-connected with N7VF, an old friend from 1960’s Alaska whom I had not seen in 35 years. We only had a short day to catch-up, but, we got a lot accomplished.

In our conversation about the 2 old Hallicrafters, I mentioned that someday I would really like to put together a 1940’s CW station, for nostalgia, and personal satisfaction. Just looking at the front panels of the Hallies puts a big grin on my face.

In the mail today, a parcel arrived containing 2 ARC5 transmitters. One a T19 and the other a T20. Thank you Norm N7VF. I just knew I dug that 28 volt power supply out of the garbage can @ the Mike&Key hamfest for a reason.

So, I have more work to do, but, the satisfaction I am getting is priceless.
Now, if someone knows where there is a BC610, I can add some “pier blocks” in the crawl space to support the floors in here. (there is a reason these radios are called boat-anchors).

(more to come)
