After procurring a GATES BC500K (500 watt) broadcast transmitter to use on 75 meters in my ham station, I sat about to acquire more period Gates equipment to go with the transmitter.  One crucial piece was a control console and mixer.  The little and rare GATES NITE WATCH was originally designed in the early days of radio automation. It was just the size I needed, so my great friend Jim Gilmore just happened to have one, and I latched on to it.

50 + years will do that to braoadcast gear.

Just dirty, no big problems.

Strong winds embraces the golden wheat.

Captures the excitement of being around this italian waters.
