Too bad most transmitters have gone solid state. And the managers are so short sighted they junked the tube transmitters to save space.

It always bugged me when on Star Trek they would be having space battles, and the control panels on the bridge would just spontaneously combust. Seems like they would design against that kind of thing.

I still have my Drake R-4B and TX-4 at hand. And I can rewind generators if required. Not to mention all the surplus electronics that any ham operator has out in the garage.... Most of it in ammo cans, and therefore protected.
I'll be working QRP DX on 6 meter FM. :) Bring on the sunspots....

"The worst storms can knock out power grids by inducing currents that melt transformers." Don't these systems have circuit breakers?

the scientists conclude, with effects leading to a potential
loss of governmental control of the situation.
What kind of "scientists" would make such a statement??
Give me a break.

I have one (circa 1955) that is fully functioning
and I have a full set of spare tubes for it.
Won’t be of much use though if the electric grid goes down...

Great!
I’m no longer afraid of global warming, but they’ve thought up something else scary to keep me awake at night.
