I wish you could show the interconnect. Was the AGC working in this video. Thank you for the post!

Cute movie, can tell it’s an old movie. Very few build their own equipment anymore. I have built some of mine, converted commercial equipment for ham use.

Love that old D-104 Astatic microphone. Cool!!

When Ham Radio had civility.

Hi, I have a ft 980, Do you know how i could get it working on 27mhz ?

Wow I buy stuff from his store. Cool

To a comment mentioned below. the reference I think to the equipment being junk was something the ham built out of his "Junkbox" as we all know what that is! I built many a Tx'r Rxr, swr meters, cw filters, passband filters. and so much more ojut of my own "Junkbox" to the unknowing ham a "Junkbox is a source of parts collected from old equipment torn apart to be salvaged and used in other projects. parts saved for a rainy day and the economy of it.

Cool! The code actually goes with the story instead of being some generic transmission used for dramatic effect! 4:40 - NO LUCK STANDBY NO LUCK STANDBY AR K 5:01 - STILL SEARCHING WX BAD AR K 6:00 - WX WORSE BT NO SIGN OF PLANE AR K 6:38 - OUT OF STORM PLANE FOUND 7:48 - PLANE LOCATION LONG 73W III LAT 41N III OUT OF GAS FAL....

Awesome

Not only does it present a poor and unrepresentative image of the radio amateur fraternity; it is very unlikely, if not impossible that only one person receives a particular radio transmission on any frequency let alone short wave.

Legalize communication

This is horrendous, no wonder the hobby has such a bad reputation.

During WWII ham radio operators were not allowed to use their radios during the war. I'm now a General ham with a Yaesu 991a with the MARS mod so I can use it on 11 meters. I use a OCFD dipole 88/44 for 160 to 10 meters and a Ringo Ranger II 2 meter antenna and an Antron 99 for 11 meters. 73 & cheers from K9POW in eastern TN

Loved it 73

i'VE seen several movies with ham radio plot devices. a couple old movies, one an Andy Hardy movie where Andy gets a friend who sets up a phone patch to contact his mother visiting in Canada. The other was a Nancy Drew movie where Nancy's boyfriend Ted was a ham. A newer movie with dennis quaid and jim caviezel called "Frequency" was quite a thriller.

Bad image for real hams when he went to make believe contacts. Long years of public service in disasters. 73 wa2kbz

Nice to see, about 20 years before I started in the hobby in 1960 😊

@ 3:54 Did a license search for the call sign W9SR3 that was shown in the background. Kinda disappointed nothing showed up. 73

Hello everyone, I recently owned a yaesu ft-767gx, does anyone know how to remove the beep each time the keys are pressed? thanks in advance.

Since when is NZ to AK 15,000 miles? It's more like 7000 miles. Circumference of the Earth is only 25,000 miles so halfway around the planet is 12,500 miles. There shouldn't be a longer path than that because then you get a shorter path on opposite direction.

That was a good one.

Why call it junk? I object to the announcer saying that. I wouldn't call it junk. The G2DAF receiver and transmitter were built by about 1,000 British amateurs, not junk at all. I built the G4CLF design p.c.b. based transmitter and receiver using Plessey i.c.'s, 4 Watts ssb and cw. I build my own aerials. Just because people don't buy everything doesn't mean it's junk. Comparing mine with a friend who had an FT817, mine worked equally as well if basic, just a bit less sensitive on 10m because there is no pre-amp on receive but I could still hear the same things as his. No fancy memories or useless stuff. I bought an FT817ND which I got for portable because mine is too big for a motorbike, and there's a lot of stuff on it I never use. G4GHB.
