Oh wow, it is definitely a thing of beauty. Bob W9RAN acquired this homebrew gem and put it back on the air. Bob also wrote a very nice article about the rig and how it was made. (Mike WU2D should brace himself — many surplus rigs were cannibalized in the process.) It is especially fitting that I post this today because February 9 is the day of the Classic Exchange on-the-air event. (My DX-100 is warming up.) <\/b><\/div>\n

Bob’s site has some more really wonderful articles. You can read about Heathkit monobanders, DX-60s. ELMAC power supplies and — my favorite — Mike Hopkins and the Five Meter Liberation Army. The FMLA was, of course, the forerunner and inspiration for our current Color Burst Liberation Army. <\/b><\/div>\n
