K5AM
homebrew station. The homebrew transceiver is to the left of
the laptop. Above and to the left of the transceiver is the Hapirat, a 2M transverter, and a
200 watt tetrode 2M amplifier. Above the 6-digit clock is the HF
section of the transceiver. Above the old HP scope, on rack panels, are
two 50 MHz transverters, vintage 1963 and 1989. In the upper right
corner is a small 50 MHz amplifier built while in high-school in 1951,
still in constant use today. To the right is the 6 foot rack with kW
amplifiers for 6M (large dials and two large meters), HF (three counter
dials and four small meters), and 2M (five square meters), vintage
1961, 1971, and 1995, respectively.
