Special Event Station: GB0SOG – Ham Radio 

We will be attending Military Odyssey 2021 at the end of August (27th-30th), we plan to have a Collins S Line setup, along with a number of other radios used by MACVSOG and US Special Forces during the Vietnam war;

  • Collins KWM-2a, VFO and Phone Patch
  • GRC-109 and Generator
  • PRC-74 
  • PRC-77 and PRC-25
  • PRC-64 

A big thanks goes out to Ted Robinson K1QAR for getting us the Collins KWM-2a, along with his work on it, to get it back in service. Also not forgetting the fine Samsonite suitcase for the radio. If you need help with a Collins Radio, he is your man ted.robinson@gmail.com
