My restored Novice station from 1965
| Here is my old station from 1965 back on the
air after 40 years. National NC-155 receiver, NTS-3 speaker, Knight-Kit T-60 transmitter
and a Johnson Speed-X key, Knight-Kit P-2 SWR meter and a Hallicrafters HA-5 VFO. Notice any similarities between this picture and the one from 1965? You
should because it is the same equipment only better. Everything has been gone thru and
refurbished to bring it back to its original condition and operating state. A lot of hard
work but well worth the effort. This equipment was purchased by my dad and as a tribute to
him, I have put it back on the air after some 40 years. I still remember the nights with
him spent building the T-60 and the thrill of putting it on the air for the first time.
Memories that will always be with you.
