[Boatanchors] [AMRadio] Dreaded D-104

[David C. Hallam]

I run a Hallicrafters HT-32B and Invader 200 and Invader 2000.  Not 
really suited for AM operation.  My 40M rig is a SBE-33/Sb1LA with the 
medium impedance SBE/Turner hand microphone not provision for AM on this 
one.  I have never found a microphone what works well this this rig 
other than the SBE/Turner hand microphone..

I am in the process of restoring a Hallicrafters HA-6 6M transverter and 
HA-2 2M transverter.  I plan to drive these with a Johnson Pacemaker and 
have a Hallicrafters SX-100 Mk II receiver to complete this station.

When I band hop I have a Kenwood TS-130S.  My only concession to the 
modern era.
