[JMS] Ham shack of James Millen, W1HRX

[Brian Harris]

About thirty years ago I acquired most of the units for a National 600 Watt transmitter. The exceptions were the RF amplifier and the NTE-B exciter. It took ten years to find and obtain the RF amplifier and fifteen or more to find and obtain the NTE-B exciter. So now I have the entire complement. In thirty years I have only heard of one other in existence and that’s the one on eBay. I hope to restore each piece (not a big job) and get it on the air but I’m slowing down so I could be talked out of it.
