I had an atrocious first station...and I never made a contact with it. On
the other hand it was 100% home made :-)
First station: Ameco AC1 transmitter, and a Knight Star Roamer receiver.
This was an atrocious station, and while I was able to make a contact with
the AC1 (with another receiver) I'm not sure I could make a qso with the
Star Roamer TODAY, with a bazillion QSO's under my belt and 40 years of
experience.
This was later upgraded to the AC-1 and a Knight R-100 , with which I made
a good number of QSO's , upgrading to a DX-40 with which I made hundreds of
QSO's in my Novice year.
What would I have liked as a novice? Hmmm.... one of the Drake stations I
now have.., a Drake 2NT, 2BQ and 2C (with a halli vfo) is an excellent
performer and very easy to use.
Fun to think about
