"Me" is an alias for a well know Radioman/FCC Field Agent, who is
nearing the end of his natural life, but finds time to kabitz here in
NewsGroups....

but, yours didn't have Phased Verticals, with electronic steering, and
a Right/Left meter just above the steering wheel to guide you in on the
signal....

You're right, mine was a Hudson with a loop DF and Hallicrafters SX-27 and
SX-28 receivers. There had to be a somewhat intelligent brain connecting the
DF to the steering wheel. Did you drive your car during the time the NDO and
RID existed? I was a charter member beginning in 1940. My wife-to-be
disseminated more than 500 invitations to join from her FCC office in
Washington as an assistant to George E. Sterling, then Chief Engineer of the
FCC.

If well-known Radioman/FCC Agent is so well known how come I don't know him?
I can't believe you're gonna give away any Home Security secrets by tossing
your anonomity cloak. How about coming clean with us?

You just don't know any of the Old Gang from the Left Coast, Region X,
and Alaska, that's all. and it was a Van, Creme and Brown, with local
State Plates, or a dark blue Stationwagon, dark tinted windows, with no
backseat and a pile of receivers. I once got myself in trouble by
calling it the SolsbyMobile..... Oh well, that was then.....and this is
now....
