On December 31, 2023, for Straight Key Night I fired up my old Halli HT-37 -- Drake 2-B combo and made a few contacts on 40 meter CW.

I had a Drake 2B in my bedroom as a kid! My dad was a ham and I got my license when I was 13 - in 1970. I have fond memories of late nights listening to hams and shortwave broadcasts with my room lit only by the radio's lights!

Very nice, hade a friend who passed that had a 2B, always liked it. I have a tented century 21 that is in need of refreshing that I tried to get on a bit the other night, but didn’t make a QSO so enjoyed this quick vid. Rob, KA2CZU

My Dad had a Drake 2-B Receiver with the Q-Multiplier speaker. He sold it about 1980 or so as he was retiring and wanted a new compact Solid State mobile HF Radio for the RV.

15S W7QCU 2300Z Lyle. In Olympia Washington. Around 21.311 MHz Amazing QSO. He is 93 years old. Has had ham call for 72 years. Still working on radios. Rebuilding a FADA 167. Has Heathkits. Wants to build regens. Reading old QSTs from the 1920s. We talked about E. Howard Armstrong. Crystal radios. He told me that in the old days, hams used Carborundum as the detector instead of Galena because with a powerful spark transmitter nearby, Galena would melt, but Carbarundum would not! He also rebuilds old cars and regularly drives a Model T! Builds old guns too!
