Been listening to 29.00-29.100. I found that there are still a lot of old transceivers around used to have a Halicrafters 2 peice. not sure of the transmitter but the REC was a SB 200. Wish I had it  back now Hi Hi.

My station consists of RCI 2950 10 meter mobile with an external 4 Transistor (MRF 455) rice box. it does  200 pep from an 40 watt carrier. My antenna is a vertical 1/4 Wave Starduster 40ft up Just got my general upgrade in Oct. Give me a call on 29.080 between 11am - 1pm weekly. Catcha on the band,

Welcome! You've come into the hobby at a good time. The higher frequency bands, like 10 meters are now really active with the return of the sunspots and the lower frequency bands have more AM activity than I've ever seen (probably the most since the end of the AM days in the 1960s).

Hope to hear you on the air.
