Good to see younger folk enjoying the wonders of vintage equipment. Keep up the great work! You're extremely lucky to be able to use such wonderful equipment!
Nice one Denise. Takes me back to my schoolboy days netting in with seperate Tx/RX. I used a two tube Tx (6CH6 multiplier and 807 PA) with separate 7MHz VFO power output about 20watts 10-40m and a Realistic DX160 receiver.
Very nice, I just passed my Technician Exam yesterday! Now I'm studying for my General Exam and also trying to learn CW. Even though it's not required anymore, I want to learn it because it's something radio operators should know IMO. Great video BTW.
Nice demo of some very great equipment. I like the receiver to the right of the wood panel also. Was one of my first radios in the 60s. 73 Jimmy, ARRL TC, WX9DX
Very good. Reminds me of my first QSO in my closet shack, straight key, HW-9 pushing 4 watts into inverted V up 30 ft. in 1986. I don't remember the contact call but he was in Bremerton, WA and my QTH was Kent, OH. 73 es 72 de KB8AMZ
From a non Ham, I really like this video. It shows the heart and soul for what Ham radio is all about. And yes, I do have some Ham radio friends from technician to extra class. Thanks for the video.

Right after you said "QRL?", didn't you hear the station come back with a -.-- . ... or "yes"? LOL! I heard it! Nice station. I just love Viking Rangers.
Nice. One of these days I should learn morse code. I enjoy QRP operation and CW is perfect for that. I have a small single lever paddle. I just need to get off my ass and learn code so I can use it. LOL Nice to see another YL. 73 Jennifer KK6FVP
