Hmmmm....used to have one of those.

Bit of nostalgia...

My first, circa 1955

Here's the one I used to play with:

Got to play with the exciter of one once when I worked some MARS phone
patches back in the day. I couldn't talk the Chief into letting me
fire up the finals on the big guns though. :)

I did get to play with an Air Force station at full power once though
- blasted a signal right below the lower end of the 20 meter ham band
on a phone patch to the East Coast - MARS again.

That was cool. :)

Man, we could get away with some stuff back then on MARS.
