And given the lack of running water, everyone looks a damn site cleaner
then I would
expect.

So Watch the show, and enjoy the fun. It is the funniest thing since
"Voyage to the

Oh, like when 'Sparks', using a BC-348, monitored Radio Moscow while
at 200 Fathoms?

In one of the early episodes of 'Jericho,' though, Hawkins WAS taking
CW on HF.

I believe he was using a VHF receiver to do it, though.




FT101. It has been too long, 25+ years, since I last used an FT101, so
there
are too many versions fo me to be sure which version it is.

An early hybrid, transistor receive, vacumm tube TX. Nice beginner ham
HF rig
back then.

This show has enough humour that if I ration it correctly it will last
a decade!

Was it? I didn't catch that. Doing too many things while it was on, I
guess. I saw him playing with a VHF rig, at one point. But, yeah, an FT
101 would do it.

It was a pretty decent rig. One of my buddies from college swore by his.

It was an FT101F to be exact, I just looked.

It and the Kenwood TS-520 were the mainstay of Japanese radios for a
long time. Good solid radios. Easy to use, almost impossbile to damage,
good sound.
