A Silent Key’s Drake C-Line Returns to Air (1976)

Dedicated to Richard – WB0NSM, the original operator of this Drake C-Line. Nearly fifty years later it’s back on the air — fully functional, still strong and now in the hands of VK3USA. This is REAL HAM CONTENT — not an unboxing, not nostalgia for clicks but the continuation of a real operator’s legacy. The Drake C-Line remains one of the finest stations ever made and represented the last time Drake built a separate receiver and transmitter that could be slaved together. 📻 GEAR FEATURED ▶️ Drake R-4C Receiver ▶️ Drake T-4XC Transmitter ▶️ Drake AC-4 Power Supply ▶️ MS4 Speaker ▶️ 1976 factory documentation and provenance from WB0NSM 💬 IN THIS VIDEO 🎯 The history and design of the C-Line ⚙️ Why it still outperforms many modern rigs 🔧 Its hybrid heart — tubes where they matter, silicon where it counts 🌏 How one operator’s radio found new life across the Pacific ⚡ WARNING Contains high voltage, strong opinions and actual radio operation.
