I can't resist this. Got my Novice Ticket in March, 1952 and my gear was an
HRO-50 and a home-brew 6AG7 tri-tet to a 6146 built into a BC-375 tuning unit.
My Dad bought the HRO for my older brother and me, and thanks to it I became an
EE and had a good career, thanks Pop! My best crystal was a Bliley AX-2 at
3702.3. I also had a 9 Mc PR that tripled into 11 meters. I worked Alaska and
Hawaii from Kentucky with that. I still have the HRO, a bit modified and
working well. I even recreated my old transmitter a couple of years ago. I
use the TX and Rx on the Classic Exchange which is coming up on 9/11 and 9/13.
See www.classicexchange.org for more information.
