Our rig was the dx100 and it served us well for years.

Hearing that BC-348 mentioned brought back my novice days because that =
was my only receiver. The transmitter was a DX20 and I had a 100 foot =
long wire with no tuner. One day I took my DX20 to a friend's house who =
owned a very expensive watt meter. It was putting out 9.5 watts so he =
had a new, never been used, 6l6, I think it was, and we plugged that new =
tube in and the meter still read, 9.5 watts output. I worked 29 states =
on 80 and 40 with that rig before I put up inverted vees for 80 and 40 =
and got the Viking ranger one. Had 41 states on those two bands in 6 =
months before I passed the general. I never had so much fun in my life =
back then.
Phil.
