[Boatanchors] Drake Gear Used at Mobile Radio - WLO

[Bill Stewart]

Good Afternoon, 
I was doing some web surfing and ran across a scan of an undated leaflet from 
coastal station WLO (Mobile Radio). It shows several operator positions, presumably 
CW, and maybe others, using Drake T4X/R4 (maybe other Drake rigs as well) type 
xmtr/rcvrs. Guess they knew good gear. I had not expected to see that...thought most 
of those stns would have used the Watkins-Johnsons, 51J3s, R390s type rcvrs and 
special commercial type xmtrs. Check the web page for this and other interesting 
pix/info on WLO...see what other rigs you can recognize.

They are still on the air, but no CW, except during the recent 'Night of Nights'.
