If I had a big old trunk-sized Hammarlund,
I'd probably do my SWL/MWL-ing at a table or desk.

It just seems so wimpy trying to manipulate
a pocket-book-sized receiver.

No hand-full tuning knobs, no toggle switches,
no glow of the 6.3v dial lamps.

...and try straining to the audio of a 2.5" speaker
for 4 or 5 hours.....

I do my late night MW listening in bed now.
Only problem is that when I nod off to sleep,
I tend to "toss the radio"...
( find it all over the bedroom in the morning )

I will say this... no tube radio would survive the punishment.

Do any SW/MW listeners still have a "shrine"
where their rig is set up ?

Here is my 'shrine':

Very nice shrine as always, Ace. One of these
years, I'm going to get my own station up
and running, but I've gotta finish the basement
first.

Do you still have that R8A??
