Yep, that is me at age 12. I used a National NC-100 and a Harvey Wells Bandmaster. Note the homebrew power
supply and the knife switch used to transfer the antenna between the transmitter and receiver. I used a 130 foot end
fed longwire for an antenna on 40 and 80 meters. Who knows what the SWR was. I didn't care and made plenty of contacts.
