amateur radio?

[freebird]

Just curious if there are other hams here at fl?
I have two boat-anchors.
The first is a Icom 720a with matching power supply and desk mike,
and the other is an Icom 745. Not vintage, but considering how far ahead technology is from when they were new they're ancient. I believe they were early to mid 80's models.

These aren't mine, but ones like them:

720a

745


Not sure if this belongs in the radio thread, or the observation thread. Mods, if you think it needs to be in observation please move it.

I say.. Are those examples of those new fangled transistorised wireless sets?


Never done the amateur ticket but have been a dedicated SWL for more years than I care to remember FRG7700 & Lowe HF225.

it's an interesting hobby, and becoming old fashioned very quickly. Internet and cell phones have taken their toll. Also not too many are interested in learning morse code.

I have had my Ham Radio License since 1989 (KK6U) I am off the air right now as I am redpoing my station. Have done a lot of CW and I like it.
