I was asked to help a widow of a silent key empty her storage unit. It was hard work. They had accumulated #radio equipment over 70 years. A #ham since he was 10 years old.
There is so much, and she knew I couldn't just throw it away. Old tube receivers, transceivers, a linear amplifier.... Tubes and tubes and tubes. So many antennas. My dad had to haul out the big quad antennas. I was gifted a brand new hex beam as well, still in the box.
I got home today and I'm unloading. I filled the bed of my truck and a uhaul trailer.
70 years of this man's passion. I have to keep it alive.
