Recently John Wilson.
G3PCY contacted me to reminisce about times gone by and supplied
a copy of the articles he'd written about the radios he'd had
through his hands. It'll be a good read but a long read if you
reach the end. Below is a picture of John operating as 5N2AAC
in 1963 which I had to look up to see he was in Nigeria. On the
left stands a Hallicrafters SR-150 transceiver and on the right
a Hallicrafters SX-117 receiver. My own transmitter a few years
later was a Hallicrafters HT-37..
not quite as powerful and carrying a built-in power supply which
sadly failed, probably because it was designed for 60Hz. |

Click the

loads of radios
The PDF is rather large so you
might have to make a cup of tea while you wait. If your broadband
speed is a bit slow try the four separate sections below.
