I can explain how they work in detail. I'll even draw you schematics
of the Southgate Type 7 from memory. (It ain't simple, either). Amazes
shack visitors of all ages and levels of technical ability.

Tsk. You've yet to explain that "Southgate Type 7." [other than the
unusual name] Does it appear in ham literature? In Nobel archives?

Here's a picture, and some technical details...

Neat collection

Thnak you, Len!

of recycled toob equipment..

The parts are recycled but the designs are new and unique.

looks like "shacks" of
the 50s and 60s.

Picture is less than 2 years old.

Appears to be a giant collection of QSTs to the
right...

Every issue since mid-1926, and some older ones. Also lots of other radio
magazines, books, manuals, etc. The picture shows only a small part of the
library.

(archives of the renowned historian no doubt). :-)

Who would that be?

Wonder if the K2 is still in the Himilayas? :-)

It was elsewhere at the time the picture was taken. You can see really good
pictures of the K2, K1 and KX1 at the Elecraft website

http://www.elecraft.com

Last time I looked, there was an interesting project under "Tech Notes" on that
site. An inventive amateur built an ITX-motherboard based computer into an EC2
enclosure, to match the K2.
