large military radio collection on island in WI - amazing!

Saw this while cruising around for ham radio information. Not everything he has is military in nature, but take a look at the pics, you have to see the amount of military radio gear he has saved up, and on display in his hamshack (more like a ham MUSEUM)! Very cool....

Great post - I wonder if he has some youngin hanging around to whom he can pass all that knowledge onto - what a waste if there is no one.

Impressive collection. Nice to see all this saved for future generations. It's fun to try to ID all the mil stuff.

That is a great collection of radios. Very neat to see them all displayed like that and not hidden away in some basement.

Ditto that! I don't believe this guy has all of them rigged up to work at a moments notice. However, you can bet that he knows every circuit in those rigs with his eyes shut!

Thanks for the link. He has a great display setup.

It's nice to see the basic transmitters and receivers sitting on a shelf, but what is really impressive is when someone takes the time to assemble the entire radio set, including the enclosures such as HO-17, S-89, S-318, etc.
