This is not me or my radio shack, but it shows about what it looked like. The big transmitter is an old Military surplus BC-610-I, about 400 watts CW and 300 on AM voice. The mike is an Astatic D-104. I have owned both of those, but my 1kw 1960 AM transmitter was larger.
I have never smoked, and the radios behind N3IBX are Heathkits. Not bad, but mine were better.
Now, doesn't this beat just going around with a walkie-talkie?!
