Vintage Ham Radio AM Party presented by N6tlu Johnson Transmitter Hammared Ham Demo 

Radio, wine, cake, the good life. 73 from France, northern region

Love watching the old equipment at work.

I have a old RCA AR 88 and a K9AY LOOP and I live in the UK about 2 years ago I was tuning around 80 meters and about 3873 khz I heard a station from NY fading in and out peaking about 59 +10 on AM.

You are inspiring me to dig out my Viking. Got it from a friend who had it stored in a barn for many years. He sent it to me and it is in humble shape. But it's something that deserves to be brought back.

Xraytonyb you are good at restoring vintage AM FM stereo receiver and vintage amplifiers my friend

Hahaha, this was your finest hour Terry! Absolutely great. I love having the occasional 'wobbly pop' (PBR. lol). I just bought a new Viking II to restore! Also a Hammarlund HQ-140x and a Hallicrafters SX-62A to restore, neither of which will be very good for 80 and 160 am but it's all I've got. I wish we could work each other.. but not possible: i'm in Clio. lol. Working other 'ganders is HARD! Be well you old knob spinner

Good job, sir. Thanks for all you do. Philip KA4KOE.

Great video

Fun stuff.

Great to hear people (notably yourself and Bob Heil) keeping AM alive! 73 de W1NLJ

Very cool! Because of the snowstorm, the lines are down! Could you please put in a call to the Overlook Hotel? I'm sensing that Danny Torrence is having a problem. Thanks.

My father was a Amateur Extra Class, his call was K2XK. He went Silent Key 2008. One of his hobbies he loved.

That's soo cool 😎 had me smiling and I did chuckle a few times there. Good vid 👌 thanks!

I come here for the guitar amp content but I am fascinated by the ham radio. And you have a guy from Lake Bluff, right up the street from me.

I'd love a sked with Italy!!

I try call you on 3870 from Nevada at 5:50 pst. Say hi to Shortwave girl , From Francesca . Transmitter is a Johnson Viking II and Hammulund HQ 145a.. using D104 and a Dow key..

Last time I was on AM was from the Fall River MA, W1ACT, radio club back in the early '60s on the 6m band. We had a 5el CC on top of a six (6) story building, HQ-100 (I think) w/AMECO 6m converter and a 2E26 xmtr....those were the good 'ole days.

Xraytonyb your utube videos are awesome my friend

I miss my Viking Valiant. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Terry, You have a lot of classic, great, much desired, valuable equipment...but your greatest TREASURE and most valuable addition to your life is Marcia!!! Hey Marcia! Could I order a glass of wine? ;-) Hey, have you guys seen the wine bottle labeled "Morse Code" wine?

Conditions were great. I must be missing the windows because 80 has been almost dead for me lately. Thanks again for sharing!

The ham rally miss reminds me of something I did. A few years ago, I drove out from Detroit to Kzoo for the MARC swap meet. Get into the parking lot, and... completely empty. Yep, the event was the next weekend. Well, at least I can say I wasn't late for it. I went back out and attended it the next weekend. Ahhh, it's only wasted gas.

Wine and cake? How decadent! Great video/great channel Terry. 73 de Howie WA3MCK. My AM station - Knight T-150 es HRO-60. DX-100 on the bench and, I’m a Swan freak too.

I really like your vintage AM shack. the audio has fidelity man! KI5MMA ...73.....

My favorite is Meiers cold duck. Best regardses to you too Terry and Happy Valentines Day to Marsha :-) KØOJ

I'd love to learn how to couple in a CBS Audimax/Volumax unit into one of those,. More of an issue of what stage it couples into but those units really enhance the audio modulation.

Great video - thanks!

AM and red wine, we share the same interests on this side of the pond Terry. I like the wine bell idea but think it would be more leathal than the high voltages if I tried that at my QTH LOL 😂 Great video 73 from the UK de M0DAD David.

Terry, this is absolute amateur radio VINO relaxation ((O: Yeah, I have had that vino, and you have to say that with a correct French accent (O: Keep up the FUN!!!

great shack, great radios '73 de IU2AJN , locator : jn45kh , Italy

Love operating am nothing like it .

That piece of cake is enough for 3 people!!! What a hack! Happy Valentine's Day

Good times on the Ham bands

Too much fun.

Cool! I'll join these when the DX-100 is up and running. CW until then. Ken W8VIW

D-Lab living fat and sassy! You are a lucky man. All the best to you and Marsha.

Thanks for videos Terry got me a heathkit tx-1 on the way should be here Friday hope it will be a keeper for am.73 kn4kbn

That's me Rick, Ahah Terry!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Va 3 mrz lol pizza ! Have a great evening!!

Great show Terry. :-) Just quick question. What type of mike did you use in this video? Astatic D104 or its "clone" AE 95-328? de SP9HAN.

I've really been wanting to get into Ham radio.

nice to see you loosen up a bit Terry lol

Sounds great @Terry de 2e0ree

I would know Jerry on any rig .. he sounds great KE9U ex K9GAS

2 questions: 1 (parts a & b) what frequency were you operating on and can someone with a general licence get in on it? And 2 how can you fix that feedback issue?

Dude... Can’t you employ an auto-mute function when your mic goes live??? 😳😳😳

I have a dx 100 needs to be looked it's not all hacked up it probably would be easy fix for you I talk to a while ago on the telephone its the guy from Milwaukee

Do you still have that 500? We need a video of that bad boy.

Terry, you're always wrong. Me too! Is there a common factor that makes us always wrong. Alan WA2EGA

What causes the feedback, and is it a sound that's transmitted? (aside from what the microphone picks up)?

Do you ever work on vintage hifi like HealthKit?

Peanut butter in the Mike? Ahah I meant Terry.

Im pissed at the the gas man for changing his callsign -- he's still k9gas to me.

Xraytonyb my hobbies are painting pictures 🖼 and listening to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my Grms license and mybe my ham license some time
