Ever own a Galaxy transciever or one of the NCRs? |

I still have the S-line gear. Post service, Swan 500C which was 'da bomb for the time. I also added a Drake TR-4CW along the way. After that, Kenwood Twins, Kenwood transcievers and eventually settling on Yaesu. |

My first transmitter was a Heatkkit DX-40 which I built when I was 12 years old. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/4093 I graduated to a nice pair of Drake TR4 twins in the early 70s which I still have stashed away in boxes somwhere. |
