Posted by STEVE M on
Well, as we all witter and whicker about the freezing cold currently gripping parts of the IK, owz about some amateur radio from a more hardy time? Here is a photo of Scott Arctic Base ZL5 amateur radio station from 1965:-
Feast your eyes on the stuffed penguin and then move towards the Collins S Line ensemble - a 32S3 if I am not mistaken and what's this, a far flung Eddystone S689 bug key - one of only 250 made by Eddystone.
They did have a professional main station comprising of mainly Racal gear - just look at that RA63 SSB adaptor - this photo is from a little later in 1970:-
