2021 ARRL Field Day With Vintage Equipment
2021 ARRL Field Day with the GOTAHams WG6OTA Club. I set up a vintage equipment display and used the equipment on the air to make a RATT (RTTY) contact with Tim N6CC.

R-1051 by General Dynamics
I recently Picked up a beautiful R-1051 (1960s version as it is a none lettered unit) It seems to be in excellent working condition. Thanks Nick K4NYW.
Project(s) Update
So I have many projects going right now. Its a bit overwhelming but I have run into a lot of good deals lately.
AM-4453/U Audio Frequency Amplifier
I finished refurbishing the AM-4453/U Audio Amplifier. It is a multi channel mode and would have been used to hear different internal communication feeds. It is a receive only speaker.
Electric Radio Magazine Article
I wrote an article in ER Magazine that not only was the lead story but also made the cover.

Teletype Paper Tape Punch TT-192a and TD TT-187a
Received a couple weeks ago a functional Teletype TT-192a Typing Reperforator and a TT-187a Transmitter Distributer.
A Patch Panel to Make Things Easier
Switching Cables for speakers, Loop Supplies, Radios, RTTY (RATT) Converters and my soon to arrive TT-192 and TT-187 made it tough keep track of cables. I will also be installing an RF Patch Panel in the future to make that side easier also.
Work on Iowa and TCS
Did some work on the USS Iowa last weekend and continued on my quest to finish this TCS even though my garage is around 90 degrees.
Field Day, TCS-12, PRC-47
Field Day 2020 was not like the rest but Bryan N3FAA and I made the best of it. I have also been working on a TCS-12 Receiver which is almost done and I picked up a Complete PRC-47.
