If the intent was to be the first one to wed computers and vacuum tubes,
you have missed the boat by several decades. I, and I am sure many others
did it long ago. I ran HF AX.25 Packet Radio on my Heathkit HW-101.
Of course, if the desire is to wed the PDP-11 and vacuum tubes, if it
hasn't been done already the same could be done. I would bet I could
put an old version of the KA9Q software on a PDP-11 running BSD or even
Ultrix-11. And then, fire up my HW-101 (yes, I still have it) and the
deed is done. Of course, I could also use my HF rig which is also of
the vacuum tube genre. Drake Twins. :-)
