[QCWA] Cold war relics.

[William Pasternak]

When the Gonset Driftwinder -- er Sidewinder -- came along, I and my 
late buddy Larry Levy WA2INM converted a number of these Gonset 200 
watt AM linears into 600 watt PEP SSB units for hams in the NYC 
area.  Mostly the 6 meter versions.  Back in the early 1970's, the 
826 final amp tubes were only 39 cents each or 2 for 50 cents on the 
surplus market.  Such a deal!
