"Boatanchor Radios"
I hope to show some interesting boatanchor radio equipment here,
much of it I either own now or have owned in the not too distant past.
It is my intention to share technical information and to allow those who are
working on similar equipment to see some of the methods I have used to keep
these neat old things operating.
THANKS FOR LOOKING,
