Back in the 60's and 70's I was K1FRV in Massachusetts and HR1GSN in Honduras.

The rig back then was the Hallicrafters HT-44/SX117 twins and a surplus and re-purposed Navy shipboard transmitter as a linear amplifier with (3) 4-1000's in the final, all pumped into a home-brew 5-element 20 meter beam at 50', all cut for 14.305. Ran military phone patches out of southeast Asia (from several carriers, Danang, Cam Ranh Bay, China Beach and a couple of the FOB's) and the South Pole (KC4USB at Williams Field, KC4USX at Bird Base) back into New England and the mid-upper East Coast from 1968 - 1974, then got married, got a job and let my ticket lapse. Just gave away the Hallicrafters twins a few years back. I think the guy thinks they're museum pieces. laugh
