Then in 1980's I lived in Littleton CO with my hubby. This was the house and the ham shack. The 100" skyneedle antenna in the front of the house does not show.

The TV on the left is the one we used for Slow Scan TV. We watched the first mars rover on it via direct signal. It was really neat watching the lines on the tv fill in to make the images. And before email, we had a western union type equipment on the left end of the desk area. He was an Extra, and I was Advanced.
When he would travel for work, I would keep in touch by Ham radio. This was decades before cell phones.

Yes. It was pretty neat, I sorta miss it. The hams are wonderful, and the hamfests (the old style) are so socialable.
