Left top of table is a Finnish RPT-125 transmitter, left bottom is a Geloso 207-DR receiver. On the right is a bran new Valiant transmitter and a Geloso 207-DR receiver used at the second station by OH2YV (standing on the right).

A cold 807 to get things started (Tuborg beer from Denmark).

AC power was very unreliable says OH2YV.
