There were some serious tube amplifiers at the location that were removed and sold when he became SK.? ?As? he explained it was one RF Rack with a monobander that was pre-tuned with vacuums in a set and forget configuration. They had no turn counters and the vacuum? caps stuck through the front panel.? Apparently it was designed a one of the best RF Engineers on the best coast.
?
Once? I worked him and 20 meters was totally dead, he was the only SSB station on the band peaking 40db over S9 on the Rohde receiver. He definitely could radiate a signal.
?
He was very wealthy apparently? and had big bucks like Gordon Marshall whose call I now forget.
?
Whoever has that location would be very happy. I was told by Seymour that the station was above him and higher up? on the mountain in Anza.?
?
Theres lots of big stations around that are simply not very active which seems like a waste like all that great hardware. Seymour got his moneys worth on his station he was so active. Everyone listens nobody calls CQ like when ham radio and calling CQ was in everyone's blood even if they had a wire.
