Finally got my high freq ham radio this week. Its an older set from 1990. Everything works like a charm. Had a buddy of mine who has a ham license check it out last night. Talked to a fellow in sw Florida. The radio looks like new. It came with the original manuals, boxes, magazine reviews the original owner cut out and, the original sales receipt. I set it up in my "Radio Room" and got the antenna all strung up yesterday. In december I am taking the test so I can start talking.... If I pass;). I wanted to get the radio first so I can get my hands on it, It will make learning a little easier for me. For you guys who have never saw pics, I have some of the Radio Room also. Please excuse the mess. Kinda having to rearrange things. Enjoy

Thanks guys! Its a great hobby. I have over 200 radios. Havent bought many since started collecting watches though. The radio room is my "man cave" in my basement. Its nice to go down there, light up a cigar (my wife will actually let me smoke one down there if the door is closed and the window is open;)), and relax. Hey BRP, maybe I will get lucky and pick someone up on shortwave from "Down Under" someday. I will keep my ears open.:D Last edited on Mon Nov 9th, 2009 11:43 am by scottran |

Totally awesome Scott!! I got my amateur and commercial licenses many years ago but haven't done much with them since I got married. I am a merit badge counselor in Radio for the Boy Scouts and the kids really don't understand the wonder of talking to someone across the country. They figure they can use chat/email etc to do the same thing. Every year I take them down to our local Council office for the "Scout Jamboree on the Air", and while they think the equipment looks cool, they were more interested in the PC controlled rigs and the Jamboree on the Internet... Have fun with your rig! Cheers, Griff

I go tomorrow at 11 am to take my ham radio license tests. I will be taking two tests. First for the level one technician and then level 2 general. Level2 is pretty tough so wish me luck. :?
