ok had a couple inquiries form  my other post asking  what I was up to so
here are some more details

 

A moth ago I got my General class  Amateur Radio License as a few of you
know.

 

As A kid could have passed the theory portion in 6th  grade but was totally
Morse code dyslectic... so  I spent my  time helping other people build and
fix things...  Time passed and   eons later  well   the  code  requirement
went away so... I finally got my license. Next month I may take a stab at
the Extra test as well.

 

We have always had a display of Amateur  Radio equipment here at the museum
... 1kw  spark transmitter,  Collins KWS1  and  lots of  other  Ham and SWL
gear and the library is pretty full too!

 

There was one big gap,  with is the ATV display  we are now building.  Some
of it was already  on  the shelf like CONAR Cameras and  some of the older
CCTV stuff Hams  adapted..

 

Even some nice photo of converted surplus gear such as this one we bought
the negatives of.

 

W6UZO Amateur Radio Television

 Please can you tell us more about this fellow and his camera?

Note the 'creative' use of military surplus parts and cabinetry to build
this camera..  Kudos to this pioneer!

WAS MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE TAKEN IN THE WENTSWORTH STORE IN THE
WESTCHESTER DISTRICT OF LOS ANGELES

so... there you have it! 

Looking to  amass a groups of  equipment that   does a good timeline....
looking to add more to the  museum's library...

BUT!  Also  would be  fin to put  some of it on the air! 

 

The  idea has been suggested to me about a museum active  amateur
station.... this  might be  fun!

Any.. read on... drop me a note off list.
