Collie Roe,
pictured in the rear, and Lewis D.
Whaley.
Roe makes adjustments to Whaley's
transmitter, Globe Scout Model 680A,
which uses a 6146 final amplifier
rated at about 50 watts input.
The Globe VFO Model 755-A sits on
top of the Globe Scout Model 680A.
Whaley prepares to adjust the Knight-Kit
R-100 Amateur Communications Receiver,
which is sitting below the Globe Scout
Model 680A..
The popular Collins R-390 receiver
for the MARS station is pictured on
the right in the foreground. Ahead
of its time, the Collins R-390 receiver
featured the old-fashioned digital
readout, such as an automobile odometer
of that time.
