But it does raise the interesting question: what in your opinion was the
best-looking communications receiver ever produced?

I don't like the peep-hole windows like Hammarlund used. A radio
should have a BIG scale and big knobs.

NC-270
SX-62

The metaphore scales are confusing too, HRO, Collins. It's too much
like looking at a movie through a soda straw. Don't get me started
on digital displays. What's that, a bunch of numbers. It doesn't
show me where the station is in the context of the band.

SX-101A, now there is how 40 meters should be splayed out.

While I have the floor, anyone remember the big 20 meter antenna
that was on the cover of QST in the mid 1960's. It was six
6-elements wide spaced on a 210 foot tower.

Is it still on the air? Are there pictures of it on the web? There
was a similar big 20 meter array in Europe. Might have been in
Norway.
