The first real station, an Eico transmitter and modulator, with HQ-129x receiver. I'm on the right, and brother Bob (ex-K7MDS) is on the left.
My first radio, a KnightKit Ocean Hopper. This and an old ARC-5 transmitter actually worked DX on 40m!

The first antenna. Oakridge, Oregon in 1961. The 10 meter dipole was made of wire and a 2x2 piece of wood. Here I am operating Field Day in 1961, using the Eico/HQ-129x set up. Fortunately we didn't have any rain!

Our 10 meter dipole - made from a 2x2' stick and mounted on a water pipe.
