I've finally gotten off my lazy behind, learned Morse code, and
upgraded my ham ticket so that I can get my green rigs up on HF. On
4/19/03, I walked in to the VEC testing session a no-code Tech, and walked
out an Amateur Extra! I bit later, I changed my callsign from KE6MYK to
NF6X via the Vanity Callsign program.
Here's a picture of my radio bench, including an AN/GRC-19, an AN/VRC-10,
an AN/PRC-70, and some modern civilian gear. An Astron RS-50M 12V 50A power
supply provides 12 volt power, and a pair of Astron LSRM-35M 28V 35A power
supplies operated in parallel provide 28 volt power. The 12V supply is on
top of the AN/GRC-19, and the 28V supplies are in a rack on the left side
of the bench.

The AN/GRC-19 consists of an R-392 receiver and a T-195 transmitter. My set
has the newer T-195B transmitter, which has solid-state power supplies (the
older model has dynamotor supplies). My T-195B "only" draws about
32A at 28VDC, compared to the rated 42A of the older model.
Here are some more pictures:
Eventually, I'll transfer my main operating point into my new
S-448 communications shelter.
