Nice Amateur Radio photos

A few nice Amateur Radio images I found:

My Grumman C-1A Cockpit

In the 1990s I acquired the cockpit section of a former US Navy Grumman C-1A Trader, BuNo 136780. It sat in my backyard for almost a decade, but I never carried out my plans to turn it into my amateur radio station.

In 2004, I learned that the Quonset Air Museum in Rhode Island needed many of the parts on my cockpit to restore their historic C-1A, BuNo 136792. That aircraft was the aerodynamic prototype for the WF-2 (E-1B) Tracer airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft program. I decided to donate my cockpit to the Quonset Air Museum.
