Denise Brown at the helm on a classic tube Ham radio rig. Made a CW contact on 40 meters with a little assistance from N6tlu. This station will always be in the family.

That’s my Girl! de N6tlu. She got her ticket at 12 yrs old. Made me very proud. All of my Ham gear will go to her.
Hurry up and marry that girl….
congratulations ! its a real pleasure to remember myself at the same age learning CW !!! please practice and practice again because in few months or few years it will be a great reward for you and for us !!!! f6arl com
well done Denise – it’s a lot easier with a modern rig – just push a button 🙂
Good job Denise! Nice to see YL’s in ham radio. Keep up the good work and don’t ever let it go!

he gentlemen who got me started in amateur radio in 1967and gave me my novice exam, W7EPI (Now a silent key) had a Johnson Viking Ranger in his ham shack and a Hallicrafters S-38B. When I passed my Novice test, he gave me the Hallicrafters S-38B to use with a Haliicrafters HT-40 transmitter for my novice station. He had bought and he acquired a newer receiver. That Viking Ranger had very high quality sounding modulation on AM phone.
Keep up the good work, Denise!
73, Bill, KI7F
Someday, I’ll get enough courage to try my Ranger on CW.
Right after you said “QRL?”, didn’t you hear the station come back with a -.– . … or “yes”? LOL! I heard it! Nice station. I just love Viking Rangers.
You didn’t catch “Yes”? It was Q5. LOL. The station should have sent “C” instead of “Yes”.
I used an old Viking Valiant back in the early 70’s.
Nice! –*** ***– -*- -** —** — *— *—
Nice one Denise. Takes me back to my schoolboy days netting in with seperate Tx/RX. I used a two tube Tx (6CH6 multiplier and 807 PA) with separate 7MHz VFO power output about 20watts 10-40m and a Realistic DX160 receiver.
Good to see younger folk enjoying the wonders of vintage equipment. Keep up the great work! You’re extremely lucky to be able to use such wonderful equipment!
Nice one Denise ! Keep working with “vintage” rigs also CW !!

Very nice, I just passed my Technician Exam yesterday! Now I’m studying for my General Exam and also trying to learn CW. Even though it’s not required anymore, I want to learn it because it’s something radio operators should know IMO. Great video BTW.
Glad to see new hams on CW! Great CW!
Very nice!! Great CWer.

Very Good Denise. Good to see YL’s on the air. Keep up CW. The more you use it, the better you get!

What do you use for a TR switch or to protect the receiver? I have a similar set-up about to be deployed!
first time I ever see a cute ham girl…funny,,,,,, but nice, I went to radioshack another day to buy a 102″ whip and by the way I asked if by any chance they would have a cw keyer… two grandpas in the store turned to me and say… wow boy.. you are really old school…LOL…
Im also learning morse… hopefully I can work something out in a month or so…
