[Hallicrafters] Another picture of the SR-500/HB9RS found

[David Thompson]

Another picture of Max HB9RS at the ET3RS SR-500 console station was found
in the August 1965 QST on page 82.  Shows the SR-500 console which includes
the SX-100 RX, HT-30 Exciter, and the HT-31 amp.  There is a piece of
Collins gear on top and a great picture of HB9RS at the mic.  Next to the
picture is a shoyt of Max standing on top of his tower below the 3 el 20
meter beam.  Seems to be a three or four sided tower (maybe an Aerometer).

Bet Max won't stand on top of a tower now HI.

Still the only station I ever worked using the SR-500.  I did not work Max
but visiting fireman Rundy then W3ZA (later k4ZA) who worked for Westrex
installing telephone and communications equipment.
Rundy was home based in Beirut then and I also worked him as W3ZA/EP, FL8ZA
(J28 now) and several Neutral Zones in saudi Arabia which have been deleted.

Reading these old magazines is great stuff especially the pictures even for
me with poor eyesight!
