President Lincoln MK1......An Iconic Radio

This is the first video of a multi part review of the original President Lincoln 10 meter transceiver. This radio was born from the Uniden 2830 that became available in the United Kingdom back in 1988 at a whopping £349.00 retail. The Lincoln model ran from around 1989 to late 2003. In the last two and a half decades these became the radio of choice with 11 meter operators Worlwide and are still highly regarded to this day, with nice examples highly sought after. I would say it is the most iconic 10 meter radio ever made. In this video I show an early 90&version operating on Amateur Radio frequencies on the 30th March 2014 in the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest organised by CQ magazine in America. Towards the end of the video I tune in to the 11 meter band (where most are used) and RX some American and Canadian DX stations in QSO. Please keep an eye open for my Part two video that has a good look around the radio and what IMO made it such an Iconic unit. Best 73, Dave M0OGY, North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.
