Collins KWM-2 Radio

nobody@ipernity.com (Robert Swanson) — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:55:00 +0000

This is an "antique" radio that was being displayed at the HamVention event. It is a product of Collins, a major manufacturer of radios in times past.

Quite a collectible item, if you are into such equipment. Many antique radios like this are in current use.

And yes, it was for sale.

Crowds at Ham Radio Event

Its hard to describe, so I grabbed a photo at the HamVention event that we recently attended. This took place at a fairgrounds near Dayton Ohio, so there were interior exhibit halls, as well as a massive "flea market" outside.

The crowds in the exhibit halls were nearly impassible. This is just a hint as to the folks there, and their numbers.

Tubes (HTT)

Taken at Hamvention, Dayton, Ohio. This is a big amateur radio get-together. They have a "flea" market in the open field near the exhibit halls. This fellow was selling TUBES! Yes, there are still tube radios being maintained and used for amateur radio.

(And they were also selling tube testers, not shown.)

For the Sunday Challenge the issue was context. So, the viewer might ask: where is this? why all these items? these seem for sale, but who buys them?

When I first posted this, I tried to provide some context using words, but we get a little bit of visual context with the grass and vehicle in the background (flea market?). So, where do we go from here?

6 Meter Buddipole in Living Room

Robert Swanson has posted:

It was in the winter, and we could not set up our Buddipole in the back yard. Some local amateur radio peopole (HAMS) wanted to test the 6 meter band, something we had never tried.

We had not unpacked the Buddipole since 2012, but decided to unpack it. This is the waiting setup, before we moved the dipole closer to our living room window.

We DID receive from the other hams on 6 meter, but could not transmit.

Some progress made!

(If you look carefully at our living room, you will see some of the images that I've shared on Ipernity: solar eclipse photos, Arches National Park photos, very large teddy bears (on right), etc.)

Antenna Tower Complete

Robert Swanson has posted:

In this photo, the tower is now up.

In addition to the horizontal elements, the tower was constructed with a pulley system. An additional horizontal wire dipole is being raised using that pulley.

This antenna system was used during the Field Day (28 June 2025) for many contacts.

Our amateur radio (HAM) club is closely involved with the city Public Safety organization. Events like this are practice for handling potential natural disasters. WØZWY, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Antenna Tower Work

Our amateur radio club (HAMS) took part in the official Field Day 28 June 2025. One of the members has built a tower that can be towed behind a vehicle.

WØZWY, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Erecting the tower is specialized work, so we just stood aside, unless asked for help. The team here has done this several times over the years.

You can see the antenna arms pre-positioned on the ground, before being mounted on the rotator at the top.

We helped park RV's during the Winnebago rally. We decided that Ted should run the Complaints Department.

Note that I've added this image to "Cuddly Toys", but keep in mind Ted (tm) is not known for his "cuddlieness".

Scan d'un négatif Kodacolor de 1965 (environ, à 1 ou 2 ans près) ! Le poste de radio est posé sur une machine à coudre "Singer" à pédalier, avec le plateau qui se retournait à l'intérieur pour en faire un meuble ! Le cadre au-dessus est une antenne AM (PO-GO) qui améliorait la réception des émissions radio ! C'était le temps des feuilletons "Signé Furax", de Pierre Dac et Francis Blanche ... "Sur le banc" avec Raymond Souplex et Jeanne Sourza ... et "Le jeu des Mille Francs" avec Lucien Jeunesse !
Et le lecteur assidu de BD est un bon copain de l'époque, avec qui je suis toujours en contact !

Bonne journée à toutes et tous et amitiés !

Madrid - Farmacia Juanse

nobody@ipernity.com (Martin M. Miles) — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 15:00:08 +0000

Martin M. Miles has posted:

Madrid is the capital and most populous city of Spain. The city has almost 3.4 million inhabitants and a metropolitan area population of approximately 6.7 million. Madrid is part of the historical landscape of Castile and is located in the middle of the Meseta, the plateau of Castile.

The site of modern-day Madrid has been occupied since prehistoric times. The first document about the existence of an established settlement in Madrid dates from the Muslim age. In the second half of the 9th century Umayyad Emir Muhammad I built a fortress here. After the disintegration of the Caliphate of Córdoba in the early 11th century, Madrid was integrated into the Taifa of Toledo. In 1083, Madrid was conquered by the Kingdom of Castile. In 1309, under Fernando IV, the Assembly of Estates (Cortes) of the Kingdom of Castile was convened for the first time in Madrid.

In 1561, Philip II moved the royal court from Valladolid to Madrid. It became the de facto capital of Spain, which it remains to this day. In 1701 the War of the Spanish Succession broke out, which led to the Anglo-Portuguese occupation of the city in 1706. It ended in 1714 with the Bourbons taking over the Spanish throne. Today's royal palace was built under their rule. Particularly during the reign of Charles III, who is therefore popularly referred to as the “best mayor of Madrid”, the city's public infrastructure was modernized and numerous public buildings were built.

The "Farmacia Juanse" or "Laboratorios Juanse" was a pharmaceutical company founded in 1892. The ceramic decoration of the facade was installed around 1925. They are the work of Enrique Guijo. Meanwhile, the building and its facade are listed as historical monuments due to their ceramic decoration,

Like many other Madrid shops with colorful facades, the tiled facades were covered with plaster by their owners after the Spanish Civil War to avoid the Franco tax on outdoor advertising. In 1960 the tiles were re-discovered.
