What was your first radio?

I seem to recall that mine was a rocket shaped crystal set that I had back in
the 1960's.


I don't know why it took so long to remember this, but my first radio
was a Remco kit radio. Dad had to assemble it for me; I was around five
years old. It was essentially a crystal set with a cool plastic case
and a sliding tuning knob. My brother and sisters couldn't keep their
hands off it, which of course led to its death, and dad couldn't fix it.
I was shattered.

First shortwave was a Star Roamer, bought used from the Allied ham shack
in the early sixties.
