Re: [Drakelist] Having a Drake Collectors booth at Dayton next year.
That sounds like a very good idea to me! I hope that somebody will pick up the idea and start the work to realize it. I’m not sure if I gonna make it to come over for The Hamvention next year. But the hotel is booked, just in case….

[Drakelist] Drake Virtual Museum - info
Fellow Drake Enthusiasts, The R.L. Drake Virtual Museum http://www.dproducts.be/drake_museum/ is for the time being not updated. The reason for this is that I have no access to the server after my museum-partner passed away last Christmas.Hopefully the ISP who hosts the files will help me. I'm in contact with them. I have decided to build up a NEW Drake Virtual Museum from scratch. It will contain a lot of new pictures and info in addition to what found in today's museum. The NEW R.L. Drake Virtual Museum is being launched page by page. You may follow my work at the new webiste here: http://www.drakemuseum.com It's under construction so there's not much there yet, but stay tuned ! Please observe that links in the menu is activated when the pages are ready to be presented. You are invited to come with suggestions and material for the museum pages.

[Drakelist] Off topic: Do you want to try remote?
Hi everybody, This is off topic, however it's slightly related to Drake. I'm looking for someone who wants to try remote operation. Well my reason for this was in the first place selfish: I want primary to be able to listen to and join the Drake nets on 80m (and 40m?) I'll provide you with almost all equipment that will be needed in both ends, except for any simple wire antenna (80 and 40, W3DZZ, Windom etc.), internet connection (cableconnection from router to remotebox) and maybe a powersupply at your QTH (or a club-QTH), . You will be able to operate a TS-480 (or maybe IC-706MkIIG) remotely and located in Norway. No computers are involved. Only a couple of boxes from www.remoterig.com (provided by me) And I must be able to operate a TS-480 (provided by me) at yours or maybe a club's QTH remotely from Norway. Please contact me off list directly to sindt...@online.no if this sounds interesting for you to discuss further, or for your club or anybody you know. Thanks for your attention!

Re: [drakelist] Serial Number Fun with the TR5, OR......
Sindre Torp [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterence to the drakelist gang -- Hello everyone on The Drake List, I have two TR5 transceivers. Their serial numbers are 001130, and 110 (hundred and ten). The serial #110 TR5 has the serial number printed directly on the rear side. This is from the preproduction serie. The serial # consist of only three digits: 110. But the serial #001130 TR5 has the serial printed on a decal on the rear. I should have posted this a couple of months ago. :-) 73, Sindre Torp, LA6OP - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 9:56 AM Subject: [drakelist] Serial Number Fun with the TR5, OR.. [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterence to the drakelist gang -- - Serial Number Fun with the TR-5 - -or- Down to the Sea in Drake's --- A few weeks ago a mention of the TR-5 on the list sparked an idea, or quest, or maybe I was just bored at the moment. Since the popular thinking was just over 500 TR-5's were built, I thought it might be fun to find out how many I could account for. So I polled the two Drake lists asking for serial numbers of TR-5's owned by the members. The story about a large number of TR-5's being lost at soon sea surfaced. (pun intended) The story goes something like this: Once Upon a time, (sorry couldn't resist) the Drake company filled a large order of TR-5's to the Government of South America. Reported to be over 100 units, perhaps as many as 200. The ship that was loaded with the TR-5's was lost at Sea, sunk in bad storm. I have heard variations of this, but the end was the same, about 100 Brand New TR-5's lost forever at the bottom of the Ocean. A fellow Drake list reader remarked that the story was true and had been confirmed. Now I had a mission, would gathering serial numbers reveal the missing units and shore up the story. Clearly I thought that if a large number of radio's were sent on one order they would be consecutive serial numbers. Early on I had received 8 serial numbers from list users and had 5 more from WB4HFN's Serial Number Web Page, plus my TR-5 for a total of 14 good numbers. Not many but it was a good spread from 1038 to 1506. (TR-5 production began at 1001) Right away I noticed a large gap in the numbers, nothing between 1167 and 1288! Was this gap possibly the missing TR-5's? A few more numbers came in the next day, all outside the black hole of missing Drake's. How clever I thought I was, Also this might mean that there was only 400 or so TR-5's left, making them even more rare. Then it happened, Like a MOAB on target, but this was the MOASN! And not just one, the next day the gap was gone, 1207, then 1240 and if that wasn't enough 1232 arrived. My Theory was Dashed on the Rocks! Now I have 25 TR-5 serial numbers, and from 1038 to 1514 the biggest hole is only 48. This is with less than 4 percent known to exist TR-5's but would indicate that a large number in one group, such as the missing 100 might not be missing at all. I did do one more bit of looking for information, Yes I even asked the R.L. Drake Company. I sent an e-mail to John Kriner of the Drake Service Department. Here is his reply: The boat sinking story is one I never heard, but this does not mean it isn't true. I am forwarding your mail to Mr. Frost at Drake. Perhaps he knows if the story is true. From Bill Frost: I have to agree with John, I have never heard of a large number of TR-5 being sold into South America. In fact, I can't remember a large number of TR-5's being sold to anyone. The sales of the TR-5 were nothing like we had hoped. I remember we sold several of the TR-4305 transceivers into South America to missionaries etc. They liked the simplicity, the fixed channel operation and the reliability. The TR-4305 was basically a TR-5 without the VFO. It would seem to me at this point that the story of the missing TR-5's lost at sea is just that. A story. Perhaps there is some truth to it, but certainly not 200 or 100 or even 50 TR-5's. Yes, I do realize that they wouldn't have to be consecutive serial numbers, but one would think that if the factory lost a boat load, they would remember. Anyway it was fun to play the numbers.

Re: [drakelist] Drake 2B
Hi everybody, I see that there have been a few postings regarding the 2-B with background in the auctions on ebay recently. The 2-B is a wonderful receiver to use, and I have quite a few Drake receivers and transceivers to compare with. Actually, I do have them all ! And that include the commercial ones too. Well, 2-B is not the best, but it's fantasic, having that time's technology in mind. And if you wonder who bought the 2-B and the 2-BQ, I can tell you that I did that. I recently bought a NIB RV-3 vfo from the same seller. I've got that one already, and it looks like it has been made today! The ended auctions of the RV-3, 2-B and the 2-BQ can still be found here if you would like to take a look: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=3075686292category=4671 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=3078443152category=4673 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=48709item=3078444065 I have by the way the 2-B and the 2-C serial no. 1 receivers too. I'm going to have a slide presentation of Drake protypes and some other very rare models at the Drake Forum that is taking place at the Dayton Hamvention in May. I hope to see many of you there!
