| For reasons of space have to keep the collection
down to a few. I repair vintage radios as a
paying hobby. I keep records of them for
interest. Call sign used to be G8ARY many years
ago when I lived in UK.
I began my hobby by building a crystal set radio
using Ivalek headphones, Repanco coil and Jackson
Bros variable capacitor (which I still have!). It
really didn't work very well. I used to listen to
short wave on my Dad's radio and later on a
Wireless Set No. 19. I tried without success to
receive the first Sputnik using an R208 receiver
on 20 and 40 MHz.
I built my own receivers and transmitters for the
amateur 70cm band and had a contact from Leeds in
the UK with a Norwegian station using my 4X150A
homebrew transmitter.
Before leaving England for South Africa, I
hurriedly built a five band shortwave receiver to
listen to the BBC.
On arrival, I more or less gave up radio for 20
years until a colleague presented me with a very
broken NC 100. (Meanwhile, I had been very busy
making electronic equipment for strain
measurement and helping my children with radio
control.)
The NC 100 seems to have acted like a magnet,
attracting all sorts of strange equipment to make
a collection of sorts.
My Wife bought the Phantom de Luxe for my
Birthday. |
