Back a long time ago Randy W5ZJ gave me a TA-33Jr. I used it at my first house until I moved here about 26 years ago. When I moved I hung it on the side of the shed until last week when I got everything out and put it together. It was still in great shape.

Today I hooked it up.  I was always told you could stand it up aimed at the sky to test out. This really works, got good reports from Brazil on 10m, Angola on 15m and Portugal on 20m. Everything looks good (swr) for it to go on the tower now. Just for fun I put it horizontal on top of a plastic 55 gal drum. I was still able to work Camaroon on 15m!

Just trying to get ready for Bouvet Island before it gets too cold.
