Two classic Icoms surrounded by Heathkit accessories. I love to work DX. This set-up works just great. Icom 735 for HF and 229H for 2 Meters powered by Astron RS35M. Heathkit gear includes SB200 amp, SA2040 tuner, HM2140 “speedometer” SWR and wattmeter, SB600 speaker and HD1410 keyer. Also SpeedX key and Astatic D104 with buffer amp from KØSF for Icom rigs. Summer antennas are dipoles and loops. Winter antenna is a Cushcraft vertical with radials. I have been a Ham since 1989 and I hold an Extra class license. See you in the pile-ups and good DX.
