| No wonder I have not been writing. Needless to say Mrs. M has been getting quite angry over my clutter. |
 |
| I did organize my radio desk. Does that count? |
The top row is my secondary equipment and on the bottom is my primary equipment. The top is a Yaesu FT-101ZD complete station except for the YP-150 dummy load / wattmeter.
The Drake 7-Line is almost complete. I need to get a CW-75 keyer to replace the MFJ sitting on the external VFO. In 2017 I hope to get the L-7 amplifier just so I have one. I did not want to spend the money to get the one on Ebay last week for a great price and it was like new. It even had made in USA Eimac finals in it!
Mrs. M would have killed me since I recently had a TenTec 422 from my friend's dad's estate follow me home.
I am planning a post on my radio blog on the Drake and my friend's dad. He was one of my ham radio elmers and is now a SK. Silent Key. When we move on to our eternal ham radio shack whether or not we still use the Morse Code we are still a Silent Key.
Funny how there are different terms for different losses in Radio and TV. Radio stations that go off the air as many daytimers did; they become silent. TV stations that go off the air; they go dark.
How do we describe the demise of AT&T and the Bell System? AT&T as we know it is no longer the mighty communications giant they once were. It all started before SBE communications bought them. Remember the lopsided stupid decision with MCI?

| This is one of the amplifiers I am going to modify. I got it last year and thought I'd have it on the air by Thanksgiving 2015. Almost by this Thanksgiving, but we have other plans. |

| Another jewel in my radio collection. This one only will need a vacuum relay to meet my standards. It is not broadcast quality, but I have no room for a nice RCA, Collins, Gates, or other commercial a.m. transmitter. I did in PA. I had two 500w transmitters in the living room and an F.M. in the back living room. The studio was the dining room. No Mrs. M back then in the days of fun. |

| There is a saying that one must get the clutter out of their life to be happy. I would if I had room for things! |
 |
| Too much junk!!!! NO! Radios and typewriters everywhere. It is only junk to the uninformed. |
 |
| This is all the damage at our house from the hurricane. |
Ha ha, that is some impressive clutter!
ReplyDeleteLove the typeface on your SM9. I've never had one like that.
Isn't it nice that typewriters can serve as a common ground for people of such diverse political, religious, and other backgrounds?
Hah, those photos make me feel better about my clutter! It is impossible, I find, to keep a desk clear. Nice typeface on that SM9 :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Bill you have a lot of stuff. The shelf on your radio shelf made me smile, it's struggling a wee bit there ☺ I do agree with you in that everyone has collections that others may not understand but that are still relevant and treasured by the owners. I have a passion for an English magazine 'Country Homes and Interiors'.. cannot throw them away, have copies from about 20 years ago.. I add that this is the only magazine I buy, most mags are a total waste of money☺☺
ReplyDeleteWeird thing with the shelf is it measures 9 inches to the desk at each end and in the middle. Yet, it looks like it sags in the middle.
