We should also get a Multi-mode TNC and 50 watt 2 meter FM transceiver. This equipment would be invaluable in case of an emergency. H.F. Amplifier Through Student Life funding, we were able to acquire this little amplifier tube, which Aimee Haun is displaying. The center ring you see around its middle is a heat sink. The entire outside of the tube is solid silver.
Silver is natures very best heat conductor as well as being the very best electrical conductor.
We also got this nice box to keep the amplifier tube in. We got another tube, too. They sit side by side inside those chimneys on the upper right of this picture. I like to sit and look at all those neat coils of heavy wire, which fill most of the right side of this box. I imagine those little electrons, ordered to run back and fourth extremely fast through those coils.
