Hi Bill

I have a copy of the ARRL VHF Manual dated 1965, and it has (presumably) the 
same transmitter in it.  There's a 6 meter version as well.  Some of that 
then-state-of-the-art technology is pretty interesting, especially the 
microwave stuff.  When's the last time you built a rig using a hydrogen 
thyratron?

73,
