Now I know how to wind a coil using an egg beater. It was actually a rage in those days to be into this hobby. There are folks today who are clueless about RF or radio and how it works Fred Title: Re: EARLY HAM VIDEO 1939 Post by: k4kyv on December 17, 2009, 01:37:43 PM Pretty good stuff about Ham radio.

I still have deadly vapors in my shack, only not from a leaky stove! lol

And we are told cellphones are a distraction? I wonder where that HT would end up if the driver side airbag deploys?

Did anybody add up all the bux of appliances in that shack? Guess it's better than spending it on smokes for a couple decades or more Al (I feel so inadequate) Title: Re: EARLY HAM VIDEO 1939 Post by: W9GT on December 17, 2009, 03:31:28 PM I don't have any pictures, but we had a similar mobile menagerie visit Fort Wayne in the early sixties. As I recall, the fellow had a big Cadillac equipped with two or three G-76s, a complete Collins S-Line, plus many many more rigs which entirely filled the car. It was a sight to see! I believe he also had a complete separate electrical system that powered the radios. Hey...that was old tube-type gear and it took a lot of power to run it.
Anyone else remember that guy? 73, Jack, W9GT Title: Re: EARLY HAM VIDEO 1939 Post by: KE7NL - Jack on December 17, 2009, 03:44:17 PM WHY?????
