I am somewhat surprised that you still have the Johnson Viking
Messenger, though. The thing has *vacuum tubes*, right? (At least the
early Messengers did).
Of course the Johnson Viking Messenger is interesting from an
historical POV because it was such a departure for the company. Instead
of a big desk-crushing VFO transmitter, they built a compact
lightweight transceiver of pretty good quality. And it still works!
So I guess it's not so surprising that for more than 40 years you've
held onto one of the smallest Johnsons ever produced.
If a tiny Johnson is what you have, a tiny Johnson is what you use. You
have to work with what you've got. I'm sure that Len's Johnson has been
gathering dust for some years now though.
