I decided it was time to put my Drake TR-4Cw back on the air after many years of non-use. This was my first HF radio as a ham, I got this rig a few months before I got my novice ticket at age 13 in early 1977 so I was ready to go on the air!
My elmer, Ted, WAØYGE recommended this radio at the time, and boy he knew what he was talking about. Looking back, this was the best choice I could have made at the time and I will probably never part with this radio. I have a lot of great memories with this now.
I have been using other radios and the Drake was just on display without being powered up in well over 10 years now. It is a great solid workhorse radio and maybe one of the best tube type ham transceivers ever made, right up there with the Collins rigs.
