The Historic KB6CYS Packet Weather Station
| The very first Packet Weather Station on the bands is still in
operation today at Bill's house in Cypress. Now that's an impressive
display of durable technology. To access the information from Bill's
weather station, follow this link. http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?kb6cys |

I've had quite a few requests for pictures of
my HF rig. This is a Sunair model GSB-900, which was used by the
military during the '80's and early '90s. It can transmit and
receive from 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz in AM/USB/LSB/CW. Output power
is variable from 1 watt to 100 watts. It can be powered by 110/220
VAC or 12/24 VDC.

This is the GCU-935 accessory antenna tuner.
The specs mention that it can match anything from a 9 ft. whip
to a 150' long wire to any frequency within the radio's range.
The tuner automatically tunes when the radio's tune-start button
is pressed.

| Both of these units were built to operate in extreme environments,
both land-based and marine. It originally cost the government $18000.00
for the transceiver/tuner combination |
