[GreenKeys] Nick's pics from Hamvention...

[Kenneth Gartland]

Hi all!

The pics Nick had provided for us to view were so
Interesting of all the ham & related radio gear...

It truly was a walk thru memory lane...

For us folks who are too far away to be there
In person, it  affords us the opportunity to see and
enjoy so much of the vintage radio gear of yesteryear...

Of particular interest to me was a glimpse of
an old Knght-Kit "Ocean Hopper" receiver, a three tube
plug in coil regen receiver...

This was my first "Kit-build" receiver, and ushered
in an interest of radio & electronics​ which I still
enjoy to this day!

Also noticed a Hallicafters HT40 transmitter, my first
rig right after gtng my hamticket...I still have this xmtr!

Did my heart good to notice a Knght-Kit "Star-Roamer"
receiver, my fist "Real" short wave receiver, gone with
the regens at last!

Tks so much Nick, for making a lot of folks happy
to see these wonderful pictures...
