The WN8VUX station (my FCC-assigned callsign in 1975). This radio equipment is not my original, but it is all the same model and was all built in the same era: late 1960s-early 1970s.

My version was used when I got it, another ham built it and it changed hands many times, as this was a beginner station. As you upgraded your license, you gained privileges (like transmitting voice or running higher power) that the HW-16 did not support.

Notice the desk lamp, I found it on eBay, it is an authentic fluorescent desk lamp, the same as I had in 1975. As you can see, it works, but I wonder if they even make those tubes anymore. (Not that I care.)

I do not remember what speaker I had back then, I found the one on the right at GoodWill for $8. I think I used one of the speakers off my 8track tape player back in 1975.
