Anyone know? Almost certainly home-built. Note paper labels on meters and switches and the absence of brand logos. Hams built a lot of their own gear in those days. Receiver is on the left, main tuning dial looks like it was cannibalized from a fairly high-end Zenith console. Back then many home console radios had pretty decent shortwave tuners, often with bandspread suitable for ham bands. Zenith was the Cadillac. Keep in mind that HF phone was AM, not SSB. The whole receiver could have been salvaged from a big console radio and repackaged. Transmitter is on the right. Large lever knob is likely the bandswitch. Center black nameplate on transmitter kind of looks like it might possibly have been military but 1938 is too early for surplus military gear. I suspect it's completely homebrew. Microphone could be Astatic JT-30. Speaker cabinet is homebrew. -- Jay Hennigan - jay(a)west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV

Ham Radio and Operation Deep Freeze
by David Hackleman 03 May '22

Hi all, The History Guy's latest video posted to YouTube highlights two teenaged hams' critical role in keeping lonely Antarctic research station personnel in touch with their loved ones in the 1950's. It is a quintessential example of why we do what we do, though this is the first time I have heard about it. The part about ham radio doesn't start until 7:20, but what precedes it provides important context. At 16:49 in length, it is worth watching if you have the time.
