    Some amateur/commercial restoration goodness

    Here's a pic of another lately completed project. It's my workshop/reloading-room station. In the late 70s, Swan introduced the "Astro" series of transceivers - a twin-PTO-tuned, 6-band fixed-station unit (the 102BX) and a fully synthesized, 5-band mobile/fixed SSB/CW transceiver. The latter...

    Finished up a few projects which I wanted to share with the WWDX crew, as both of the radios shown in the thread came from one of the members. First off, a complete view:

    Just when you thought you've seen it all...

    *Ebay Linky* We have here ~$20.00 worth of wire, PVC and a resistor. The plans are freely available 'round the 'Web - search for 'T2FD'. For example, Arne Coro of Radio Havana Cuba's "DX Digest" has a detailed writeup of this antenna and it'll cost you a whole lot less to build his version...
