My main station
(behind me
in the photo) at the time consisted of the entire Heathkit SB Line:
SB-303
Receiver with
SB-650 digital display, SB-401 Transmitter, SB-200 HF Amplifier, SB-102
Tranceiver with SB-640 VFO, (2) SB-600 (Spkr/Pwr Supply), SB-610 (Xmit
Monitor Scope), SB-620 (Rcvr Panadapter), SB-630 (Station
Console),
Heath HD-15 Phone Patch, HM-102 (HF) SWR/Watt Meter, HD-1410
Keyer/Paddles,
HW-8 QRP transceiver, and 2 Kleinschmidt TT-98 teletypes with home brew
TNC. VHF was handled by a Yaesu FT-221R all mode rig with HM-2102
(VHF) SWR/Wattmeter. Antennas were a TA-33Jr tribander at 42 feet,
crowfoot
dipoles for 80 and 40, and stacked 11el beams horizontal at 48 feet for
VHF SSB.
My second station (to the
left in
the photo) at the time consisted of Drake Equipment:
T-4XB
Transmitter,
R-4B Receiver, MN-4 Antenna Tuner/SWR/Watt Meter, MS-4 Speaker/Power
Supply, also pictured
is an extra MS-4 speaker enclosure with various home brew accessories
built
into it and a second Heath SB-610 Monitor Scope to watch transmitter
output.
Triband beam was switchable between the two stations.
I had a
third station
in an adjoining room at the time which also consisted of Drake
twins (T-4XB/R-4B/MN-4)
and a Yaesu FT-101E with wire antennas.
(I
havc very
little of this equipment today and have recently begun to collect
Classic
Icom Rigs and CW keys, paddles and bugs.)
