There is a vintage ssb net every Saturday morning on 3.840, in the mid west.
Their rules are all tube radios, and they will allow American solid state
radios if they have analog receivers.

Subject: Impromtu round tables

Hi all:

Friday night while working some DX on 7.153, a friend of mine KP2XX Jim
Latham stopped by for a chat and we ended up having an impromptu round table
consisting of vintage rigs. LOL It was greate, Jim was on a TS-830, we had a
TS-520 and a couple of guys running modern gear with vintage Heathkit
SB-201s. LOL Of course I was running my FT-102. Gotta love when that happens
and it could be a once a month thing. We're calling it the vintage asileum
but that might be very offensive to some so not sure. When it was suggested
we had a good laugh.
So if anyone got any vintage gear that they're using or wanna blow the dust
off it, I'll send out an edamil next month when I spearhead another round
table on 7153.
I know that vintage may constitute something 30 years or older but I think
its safe to include gear from the early to mid 90s now. Case in point the
Tentec Omni VI and earlier were very good rigs along with the Icom pros and
775 line. Even the pre-MFJ line of Ameritron amplifiers and Heath SB-1000s
I'd view as vintage.
