Ragnar LA1UH's Wonderful Museums in Norway

Here are two more great museum visits by Helge LA6NCA.Β In these two he visits Ragnar LA1UH.Β Β
Ragnar has a lot of maritime experience, so we see a lot of older ships' radios.Β But his interest in the radio art is much broader and we also see a lot of other kinds of gear:Β
-- Wow,Β a "travel radio" in a suitcase from 1927.Β Was this the idea that later lead to the Parasets of WWII?Β
-- Lots of "Stay Behind" gear from the Cold War. That "Africa" receiver (that never made it to Africa!) is very interesting.Β
-- We see an ART-13 with autotune, ANGRC-9s, several ARC-5 command sets.Β I was hoping Raganar would fire up a Dynamotor, but no.Β
-- I spotted a Galaxy V transceiver.Β I have the VFO reduction drive from one of these in my homebrew 15/10 rig.Β Β
-- We see several variometers in the emergency (500kc?) maritime transmitter.Β I used a variometer in my super-simple ET-2 transceiver (with an N0WVA receiver).Β
-- Lots and lots of tubes.Β
Ragnar says he himself is of 1944 vintage. I hope some "stay behind" provisions have been made for these amazing museums.Β
Thanks to Helge LA6NCA and to Ragnar LA1UH.Β Β
