Dad's ham station

[Swing]

This is the type of equipment I've been around all my life. So.e os nee. The big blue-green on the right is his home desigbed and built kw amplifier. And above is a Johnson kw matchbox. He has a qtr kw matchbox also.

Ah, now this is the type of organized chaos I can relate to!

Those old antenna tuners are held in pretty high regard - lots of folks still use them.

I bet it got warm in there when he fired up the amp.

Very nice ham radio equipment.

I have a 1991 Kenwood TS-450SAT.

The KW Johnson matchbox is the one that my ex bought at some hamfest and traded to Dad for my hand in marriage way back in 1971. I have an affinity to the Johnson kw and 1/4 kw matchboxes.

I wish I had a photo of the ham room in the last home I was in while married. We both were hams. We had slow scan tv and watched the first mars rover signal before it was processed for commercial tv. Very neat.
