Title: Novice Pics
Post by: WU2D on October 20, 2018, 12:02:46 PM
I am doing a video series on the Novice Stations of 1960-75 and am looking for some pictures of you in your station, that I can plop into the story here and there.

Part 1 is out now.

Great video! I disagree with you toward the end though. Hams are not geeks at all. We're comparable to something like smart Hell's Angels.

Nice work Mike. Brings up nostalgic feelings. I wonder how many of us still have our novice setups, and actually use them? I for one don't, the stuff is long gone.

Interesting approach... from the department of unsolicited free advice... strongly suggest the use of a
clip on lavaliere microphone! Too much room echo, it takes away from what is being said... if ur using such
a mic (I didn't spot the mic) then maybe reposition it?

Hey Larry,
Hope all is well with you. 

Although, I don't fall into the age range for Mike's request, I still have my novice rig. Even if I was in his age range, I don't have any pictures. the rig works and every once in a while fire it up. Licensed in 79 and used an HW-101 as my novice rig.

Wow Great Novice Pic! And yes on the audio. It is fine off the camera in the shack which absorbs sound but in the little dining room  - YUK!
