I actually used that Drake 2-B as a novice back in 1973-1974. The HT-37 came a bit later.
For the Novice Rig Roundup I used the beautiful key that Peter VK2EMU sent me. Thanks again Peter.
Novice Rig Roundup is a lot of fun. I was on 40 CW in the old Novice band today. Worked Greg AA8V who was using a homebrew superhet receiver -- that doesn't happen every day. Another station asked a question that we don't hear much these days: "What are you running?"
I will make some more contacts during the rest of the NRR period (scroll down to a recent blog post for more details). I have my NRR serial number. Thanks to the organizers for putting together this fun event.
I am sure it was a fun run.
