4 TR systems
5 pieces of test equipment
various shack furniture, antennas, power cables, control systems, etc.

The above list does not include:

- surplus units converted/restored - manufactured equipment
restored/repaired/modified
- kits built or rebuilt

I've worked several of the regulars here on rrap using my homebrew rigs.
I can often be found on or around 7040.



This is incredibly bizzare!





Yeah, the NoCode Agenda can get to be a bit bizzare, all right. Between
all the "Luddite!" Mantra - while it's *WE*, the coded, who are actully
active with the modern digital nodes, then their version of Morse Myths,
Morsedists Religion, NCVEC's "vision of the future" ....... snip

You have me wondering now Dick. I'm wondering what the ratio of NCTA
homebrewers to PCTA homebrewers is?

Whereas a person that does not hombrew (by my more expansive definition
as compared to Jim's) is not necessarily a technical nincompoop, those
who do homebrew are arguably more "into" the Ham experience than those
who do not.

I'll start this, and we'll see if people want to pick it up.

Jim is PCTA and has extensive homebrew experience.

I'm PCTA and have a good bit of experience, though nowhere near as
extensive as Jim does. I've done some design, and lots of rebuilding,
Mods and homemade keys and the like, and of course antennas.

Let's hear from both sides here.
