My first shack? About 1974 in Pasadena Texas. A 16x20 shed in the backyard.
First transmitter was an ART-13 with a 75A-4 reciever. Got them both for $5
at a ham radio club auction. I bid all I had on me (as a young teen) and
nobody tried to outbid me. Ran a lot of CW as I had few AM voice contacts.
Ever since then I've loved tubes & Boatanchors!

Sorry, no photo's of that first shack....
