My first HF Amateur rig, the UNIDEN 2020. This had the 27 MHz Band as a standard fitment relating back to the days when Hams had 11 Mtrs. Think I bought this one from Bert years before we got together to create the awesome 10-30m Log Periodic.

A magnificent rig to operate that had many features over the equivalent YAESU 501. 

I actually owned about three of them over the years and lost one to Goldie as he walked in the door with me DX'ing on 11 Mtrs. I never had any problems with them as others were reported to have so maybe I was just lucky or kept my fingers out of them.

( Thanks Ian, Black Widow - AX17.) 


The Courier SPARTAN I had was the first one in Australia, privately imported by FORD Motor Co. for evaluation for fitment to Luisville trucks. I forget how I ended up with it, but it was way ahead of anything then available in Aust. With an 858 Phase Locked Loop (PLL), and me working as an elect. engineer it wasn't long before I had figured out the BCD code and fitted thumbwheels long before anyone else had thought of it.(1975!)

( If I cant blow my own trumpet on my own page, what's the use of having it?). Pumping out a good 20Watts it killed anything for DX with a 9' Stainless. 

Stepping in 5Kcs across the 11Mtr Band made evading the buddies easy, and contacting over 70 Countries a lot of fun..

    Guy's the LIVE CHAT PAGE is there to make immediate contacts after entering your callsign and location only.

    So it is quick and easy to make contacts with anyone else on there monitoring the chat page.

    The idea is to open it in your browser and leave it open all the time so you can see who is dropping in just like you have to monitor a frequency for DX!
