I do remember Dick Bash, KL7??? who started the whole licencing uproar. I
think he finally got his tech licence pulled for some silly reason.

Yes, I love them boat anchors too. Hollow state technology with the warm
glow of filaments is so nostalgic.

I personally will have a boat anchor station set up. Drake 2B and a Central
Electronics 100V transmitter tied into a Johnson Desk Kilowatt. I heven
have the Ranger exciter to run it as a KW plate modulated if necessary (now
illegal). Yes, I do have rice boxes as well, but there is no challenge to
those. But they are nice mobile.

I challenge all of you out there to get a ham licence, no code or even the 5
wpm. The 5 wpm is no barrier -- anyone can learn that in a few weeks a
couple nights a week. C U on the bands . . .
