| Rig1 |

| As far as I can see, there is not a single
transmitter/receiver, only measuring instruments. This station
chief is a true DIY guy. |
|
| Rig2 |
| The transmitter/receiver was not at the front, but on the left
side, so it was unfortunate for the equipment to be heated up by
the setting sun. |
|
| ANT |
| This is a 10mH double bazooka. It is difficult to tell which
is the ANT wire and which is the electric wire. |
|
| Pluto |
| It is a PSN-configured all-band double conversion transmitter,
the first generation of a homemade transmitter integrated in it.
Excuse me, but even at this age, the panel has been nicely
processed. At that time, it was on-air every morning at a fixed
time, and I enjoyed QSOs with it. Recently, he has been feeling a
little unwell, and there are fewer opportunities to QSO with him,
but he still uses a soldering iron. |

| Power Amplifiers |
| There is no circuit diagram, and this old amplifier has been
well maintained for a long time. Our measurements showed that it
has a distortion characteristic of nearly -60 dB, making it an
excellent amplifier. A high-voltage oil capacitor was obtained at
a junk market in Kasaoka, providing even better ripple rejection. |

| Luncheon |
| On May 10, 2015, we gathered for lunch to celebrate JA4ABY's
release from hospital. |
