N7BUP Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Picture is probably from a few years later. Heathkit Seneca, National NC-125 with Ameco convertor. The antenna on the roof of my parents' house was a 4 element beam. Phil N7BUP ex-WA8KBD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator K3MRI Posted February 9, 2020 ELMER Administrator Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hi Phil. So cool to see these old photos of us in our more bushy eyed years!! Heathkit Seneca... I had one that my sister decided was too ugly and decided one night, I kid not, to paint all the blue parts bright bright bright pink. She did a great job! She even took the trouble of laying down a white primer base. I should have kept it; it might have had some humor value at club meets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7BUP Posted February 9, 2020 Content Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Wow! A pink Seneca would've been quite something. I really enjoyed my Seneca, but only used it on 6M since I had no antenna or receive convertor for 2M. But there was plenty of 6M activity on 6M in central Ohio back then, so I was quite content even when the band was closed. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7FLA Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hey Phil, nice photo and shack! My first exposure to radio was actually CB Citizen Band radio with my Astatic D-104 mic 🙂 I actually had a base station in the 3rd floor of our home in Upper Montclair, NJ with vertical Shakespeare Big Stick antenna mounted to the chimney. It wasn't Ham Radio, but it was a start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
