After missing the AWA Bruce Kelley 1929 CW Party I'm looking forward to the vintage ham radio opportunities still coming up over the next few months:

I've six stations that I should have on the air for these events.

HRO Sr / 6J5-6L6 + TZ20 Amp

Simple Super / Utah Jr

FB7 / CW25Jr

R4B / TX4B Drake Twins

NC-303 / HW16

Drake 2B / Eico 720

These will all be a great activities for those long cold Minnesota nights I'm expecting.
