That photo was 7 years ago and about 20 to 30 pounds lighter. The tower project is http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/tower.htm I'm in the midst of replacing coax, and repairing antennas. The 144 and 440 arrays on that cross boom at 130 feet look like a Blue Gill fly-rod that just tied into a Bass on a windy day. For them to still be holding together means they must be sturdy. Problem is, when everything hurts it's difficult to get up the drive to climb towers or go fly airplanes. I may have to take a hammer out to the airport just to get the pistons to move in the poor old Deb. OTOH it's getting very close to major time anyway. -and get that luk offen yer face, it's a General tickit. Why? My code speed went a bit higher than that, probably because I spent so much time down in the basement for peace and quiet. :-)) My first wife hated to go down there. I'd stretch out on the couch and leave the radio on a QSO just a bit faster than I could copy. Joyce (My wife of over 24 years) is also a Ham (N8JBW), General Class. Because I usta teach a lotta kids and I alwyas thought it was kinds finka to stand up there, like preaching to the darkies. I wrote some well-accepted (and widly used) software for the Commador computer that That those new fangled, modern computers for yah. My Ohio Scientific C28P with the model 28 Teletype for a printer was already getting old by then:-)) Ah, but the smell of oil, the sound of a threshing machine, the muscles you build from moving the thing. It was just like being back on the farm. I taught a Ham class at the Alma Public Schools in adult ed one winter (80 or 81). IIRC I had 23 students in that class. Most, if not all earned their licenses. produce tests, practice runs and that sorta things that were WIDELY used by other Elmers.. ...along with some properly spaced CW learning software.

Man, but you are OLD! :-)) I still work QRP on 20 now & then. But only on my home-brewed stuff. Not very selective. My QRP rig is a Hallicrafters SX101A and HT-32 although I could put an HT-33B on behind it. Considering the price of the tube for the 33 it mostly sets there, looks pretty and keeps any one from running off with my desk. Those were made when rigs had substance. I think the receiver weighs 70 some pounds, the transmitter around 90, and the amp (HT-33B) is 113#. -RSH 73 Roger (K8RI - Wonder if I'll ever get the G-III finished) Roger (K8RI) ARRL Life Member N833R (World's oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
