I've shown pictures of the telescope my Dad built in 1938, so now it think it's appropriate to show a picture of him, Bill Maxwell, W8YNG, my Dad and Rick's Grandfather.
Walt, W2DU
Excellent photo Walt, your dad had quite the station!
And he does look most distinguished in his "Sunday Going To Meeting" clothes.
Nice looking SX-28 and RME 69 as well, a most proper station!
Are you sure its 1938 Walt, thought the SX-28 did not come out until 1940?
I see the mill on the left, what looks like a panadaptor on the right, but what is the unit below the panadaptor?
I thought it might be a direction indictor for a beam, but can't tell for certain, perhaps a modulation scope?
Big bottles in the tx, 250 or 450th?
Noted the National Velvet Verineer's on the front panel of the first two tx.
I always enjoy looking at vintage radio photos, the folks just dressed very well, and even hamfests
were treated as a formal event.
I agree with Rick, we should all dress up fancy and do a shack photo.
Perhaps that might be a good idea for a new photo gallery here on AM Fone?
