A few weeks back I said I was going to move some equipment in the house to work on radios in spare time so I do not have to burn electricity in the shop. Well I did that. Then I got to thinking. I want to start a old radio collection and talk on them.
So I now have part of my collection in the house.
And they are Swans!
Swans are another passion of mine. I love the old radios and the Siltronix also.
Left to right in the pics are as followed.
350, 500, 500 CX The 2 amaller rigs are a Yaesu 757 and a Kenwood TS430.
The white table on the left is my repair area for now. Still have a few more pieces of gear to bring in and set up.
I am only running dipoles laying on the roof for now. 20, 40 80 merter dipoles.
And a radio for each band.
I have not had many radios in the house for years so cant do a full blown man cave...yet. Got to break it to the wife slowly.
Been having a blast on 40 meters lately. And getting some decent reports. Just starting to find out how many folks are running these old rigs.
I still have a few more rigs to move in. Just have to get another bench top to put them , TS-520, FT-101's, and my old cleggs.
If someone want to catch me on the air and like to know what frequecy I am on, just sit tight, I will be drifting by shortly......
