Boatanchor items For Sale:

B & W 377 Coaxial Antenna Relay:
I had never seen one of these before. Most of us are familiar
with the Dow Key Antenna relays that many of us used 40 or 50
years ago. This unit serves the same function, but is somewhat
unique.
The B & W 377 is housed in a hexagon box. It has three SO-239
connectors coming out three of the sides, a length of wire on
one side that goes to the coil of the relay, and two sides that
are blank.
The coil is rated to work on 48 to 130 volts AC. The original
single page instruction sheet says that it is a unique relay
design permitting this large variation in voltage. It is good
to 150 MHz, and will handle 2000 Watts PEP, or 1000 watts
continuous.
It appears that this unit has never been used. It has the
original instruction sheet, and original box. The unit itself
does not appear to have been used, and looks perfect. $75


Microphones:

All of these microphones have been tested and work well.

Johnson Hi Z Hand Microphone
This high impedance hand mic is a gray color, with the
Johnson logo with the Viking on it. It has a PTT switch and
coiled cord, and produces a nice pattern on the scope. It
looks good also. $30

Generic Hi Z Hand Microphone
This hand mic is black in color, and looks like it might
have come from a HyGain rig. It has a PTT switch and black
coiled cord. $25

frequencies (300 to 3000 Hz). It is in a black enclosure,

This one works fine and looks OK also. $15
