I've been a Ham since 1991. My callsign is K3YYZ (vanity call). My old call was N3LKT. I collect surplus military radio gear and don't do much operating HF or otherwise. In 1999 I wanted to put my radio gear (RT-524A, R-442A) in a vehicle so I bought my first military vehicle, a 1986 CUCV Blazer. Then in 2001 bought a 1987 HMMWV M998. I put radios in it as well, and converted it to a M1026 slantback weapons carrier with winch and dummy M2. About 2 years ago I upgraded the radio in it to a SINCGARS RT-1439 with the AM-7239 amp. I have since sold both vehicles and most of the radios and bought my Barstow M151A2.
I have a PRC-77/AM-2060 combo to put inthe MUTT but I can't bring myself to drill holes in it yet. I may leave it as it came, don't know yet.
