I don't have an Amateur radio license, but I do happen to own a Yaesu FT101 EE and a FL 2100b. in great working condition. I love old radios and never could part with these.

Here is the Short Wave receiver I used for years, Listened to many a C2C show and listened to ART a few times on 80m back in the day. It has been a good ole receiver.
I love posting pics.

Here is my primitive citizen band communications I use out of the garage.
A few of us garage dwellers around here use this primitive means to communicate with one another.

Nice radios Turtle 101, I also have five Uniden CB radios, well to be accurate two of them are President Washingtons which are prior to the Uniden Washington as you may well know.

Here is the antenna I use, it is a "Hustler Jam Ram jr 27" built in the late 70's. It works and looks beautiful, it will also make for an excellent 10 m antenna for the Yaesu FT 101 when ever I take the general ham exam.
I could have it higher but the weather here has been crazy, we had almost half our town damaged buy a tornado Sunday.
So I have it lowered on the home made telescopic mass. I dont want to wreck this beauty.

You are seriously set up Sinner, looks awesome! I love old radios but only have a few, and no ham radios, just antique FM ones. I think that may change soon, I need more "junk" (not my word for it) around the house lol!

I am interested in any old radio including the FM. I want to make the jump from CB to Ham though pretty bad.
We do have a good time on CB around here, there are only maybe a dozen of us in the whole county and we have a few beers and joke around. It is nice cause when I am alone in the garage I am not really alone, just key the ole mic and maybe someone is doing the same.
Yes Fan, we all need more "Junk" hehe. one of life's pleasures.

Is that aAstatic D-104 Microphone?:)
I had one of those. The last mic I had was a Turner super sidekick. It had a nice ping when ya keyed it.
Man. Must have been 30 years gone by now.

OOPS...That last post was for your next one down with the pic of the mic.

Hey Ben, yep, you are correct, D104. A few of us are at the age where we long for nostalgia of our youth so we decided to get back on the air. Corny as hell but really fun. I guess we are going backwards.
I owned a Super Sidekick when I was young also, them things are worth money now.

Maybe it will make a comeback. But probably not. Those were my teen years.

Nope, no comeback, CB is dead. But I read there are more Hams than ever before surprisingly.
