Ham Radio Shacks
มุมมอง 15K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Here is a collection of photos I have found over the years. Some have come from sites such as eHam, W8JYZ, QRZ.com, Buckmaster, FB and others. These photos represent almost 100 years of ham radio. I have had the pleasure of enjoying contacts with some of these amateur radio operators over my 60 years of hamming. The music is "'Dancing on the Airwaves" by Sebastian Jago d(ºộº)b 73, WØAAA

Morse Code Keys for Portable Use by WØAAA
มุมมอง 7K13 ปีที่แล้ว
If you like to operate your ham radio station from portable locations using Morse code, consider using one of the many smaller code keys available. Protect your primary key from being scratched or damaged. Many of the smaller ones weigh from 1 to 5 ounces, are quite compact and take up very little space.
Ham Radio/Ice Fishing Adventure by WØAAA
มุมมอง 10K14 ปีที่แล้ว
Combining 2 great hobbies. Ice fishing and amateur radio on Movil Lake, 7 miles north of Bemidji, Minnesota. The ice was almost 3 feet thick and the depth was 17 feet. The combined effort yielded 3 Perch, 2 Northern Pike and alot of "ham." The equipment used: Icom 746; 2-12 volt fully charged deep cycle Marine batteries and a G5RV antenna up 30 feet in the center, 15 feet on the ends and an Aqu...

High Speed Morse Code with a ZN Telegraph key by WØAAA
Nice and fast 💨. Thanks for sharing. Could you send faster on dual paddles? or not?
Check out this link by N1FN regarding dual versus single lever paddles. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/cwops.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/iambicmyth.pdf
@@W0AAA I've already read this, thanks. It's about squeeze keying vs. not squeeze keying (on dual paddles). Obviously, with single paddles, it's impossible to squeeze, thus the point is moot.
@@franka7691 The top cw operators in the world come from the country of Belarus. They win the high speed telegraphy contests held in Europe and Asia year-after-year. According to what I was told by one of the participants, they prefer single levers over dual levers. I prefer the single levers myself but it really doesn't become an issue until very high speeds are attempted.
@@W0AAA thanks for corroborating. That's exactly the same thing that I heard, from multiple sources. I'm thinking about purchasing a paddle that is switchable from single to dual function, as my next paddle.
I enjoyed the ZD7X & XU7XXX cards............😀 Tom KC0W
Wow, that is awesome! I'm a brand new technician, working on general, and now I'm motivated! Thank you! 73
Thanks for the nice comment. Welcome to the hobby Aaron!
Very cool!!!
Why would anyone fish for ice?
For the same reason that trap shooters shoot traps, bow hunters hunt bows and table tennis players serve tables.
This is just wonderful history of ham ops & their stations. This is a love of ham radio and the characters who love working it. The music actually helps realize the profound nature of the ops who have participated in this hobby documenting individual amateurs who are as some have said, now past. Silent keys, our Elmers. They were great in this hobby. This history should not be forgotten.
Hello! Does the low profile paddle style help you? I see this is an optional paddle style to their standard style paddle.
Hi Jason, For me it absolutely helps. I use my thumb on the left side of the paddle and my index and middle finger on the right so that is why I choose that style of paddle.

Astounding!
Wow, impressionnant ! Et pouvoir faire la même chose avec l’autre main, c’est une prouesse ! 🏆
Merci.
Really enjoyed this. The old pics were great. Thanks!!
I head copy at 20 with ease but you are at another level amigo - a true QRQ master. I just bought one of these great keys. 73's, Alex W5YB
First licensed in 1974 w/ my Drake 2C & 2NT. CW is still my primary mode. Love CW. Your CW skills are so impressive. 73 ~ Steve (K1KTF)
Love the pics of the old stations!
Wow......Some incredible history shown here and I love the trance music too. 73 Ian G7HFS/PA3IKH
Really have to appreciate this. Memories with your dad never went sk

Very skilled!
That is why i like straight keys. I mean whats the hurry? Why go so fast MOST people would not understand you.
Now that was cool. Thanks for the tour of your shack. 73 de KD9LVR
WOW...GREAT Video !! Thank you very much.......All the Best & 73's.... De.. AA6KM
As someone who has just started learning, I think the first letter was T. After that, way way too fast.
Yep Always Love CW and Always Will !!!! First learned CW at the age of 9.... never get Tired of CW 73s
I enjoyed seeing the modest ham shacks.
hay form Carlsbad NM im KG5FRQ wow what a ausom QSL card display
This is awesome.
Very nice "video story" I enjoyed it very much, Thank You. Maybe we will work some day, Blessings and 73, Leo k1zek K
one thing about the older radios ... in the wintertime one did not need heater they would provide it for you
Cool! thanks for sharing.
Wow the guy at 1:34 is in a Iron lung. You can see his face in the mirror.
That was Cliff Corne, K9EAB, who contracted polio at age 9 and spent the rest of his life in an iron lung before becoming SK at 29 years old. He still had the use of a finger and became an accomplished cw operator. I worked him in many contests in the 60s.
@@W0AAA Thanks for the reply. I Got my novice licence back in 1982 but never bought a rig or got into it. A few weeks ago I did it again, I got my Technicians licence and now studying for my general this time I'm actually going to make a contact. I hope! :)
@@dfpolitowski2 Congrats! Welcome back into the hobby.
love those 1939's and the 1950's pix
Most are silent keys now, a lost generation of true Hams.
Nice video, thanks! 3:00 Wow, is this real or a joke??! What is it? A multi-multi contest station in a car??
when I was growing up there was a ham radio event there I saw a car and truck set up like this which was one reason I wanted to be a ham I started when CB radios you had to have a license still remember the call KQX 7002...when they dropped of the license I quit CB's then worked as a first responder for 30 yrs in 1990 I fulfilled my dream and became a tech-no code KB7PPW have enjoyed it ever since
looks like it's probably a multi op field day or special event station.
I just took a second look, looks like a car with a lot of vhf/uhf gear.
I love seeing these old shacks rather they are primitive and modest or expensive. What a thrill to sit there and talk to the world.... 73, WA7VVV
Fantastic...and lefthanded too. "PSE QRS OM TNX"
I'm hooked! I'm a Minnesota boy myself and may just have to give this a try. I'm sure my wife would rather me be calling CQ out on the lake as well. :) 73's KB0CIF

Very nice setup there! I gotta try doing some HF by saltwater when I am fishing the beach this summer de KD2AVU
This is the most outstanding and interesting ham shack documentary I have seen, it took me over an hour to watch as I paused each photo to examine all the old equipment. You did a fantastic job of putting this video together along with background music. Thanks and I will check out your YT channel for other videos. Walt (W4FGO)
Fantastic, remember my old time I had a DX-35 transmitir and a harmalund receiver. There time the propagation nice.
just getting in the hobby need help
VY FUN - TNX FOR VIDEO ES 73 DE LYNN NG9D . .
Hi Zed, the best shack video I've seen on YT. Also your QSL display is the most impressive I've seen. How did you attach the cards? Can they be removed? Also how did you get the nickname "ZED"?
I used to have the call K2ZZZ.
you sure like the COLD weather brother. glad to see HAM radio works below 85 degs. was not sure as we never hit those temps here. HI HI. 73. N5XTC
nice setup brother. you dont worry about waking up dead with that propane heater? or, do you have the fish house vented somehow? curious.
Way to go, W zero AAA! Burrrrrrr! Tim, NN6A
nice
What a talent - from yrs of hard work. Really enjoyed this. Thanks and 73.
