Shell, WA6KJN, has built some really cool homebrew rigs. And an airplane.
On his QRZ page Shell writes: “I have saved all my old homebrew gear. This is a tube SSB exciter using a pair of 6146’s in the final. It has a Collins mechanical filter. Built in the 70’s. It had a matching receiver also with a mechanical filter in the I.F.”
