I started out with a Drake 2A receiver and a Knight Kit T-60 CW and AM 
transmitter.

I then moved up to a Halicrafters HT-37 Transmitter.

I still own this gear, however, it probably does not work.

Lately I have been collecting my favorite vintage gear, those from the R.L. 
Drake Company

Currently I have the "B" twins, the "C" twins, Tr-3 and a Tr-4CW/RIT

As for modern gear my Kenwood TS-590 is sure a fine rig.

My favorite rig that I currently own is the Drake "B" twins.
