Cecil, did you ever own or use an original GOONEY Box?



A GOONEY box was probably beyond the means of anyone in
my home town. However, I remember a Philco AM/SW radio
with a 6E5 tuning indicator. I never understood the
difference between tuning while looking at the "cat's
eye" and just tuning until it sounded the best.

Don't we do the same thingee when we touch up our modern rigs for either max S
meter or best sound?

But, you are correct in your observation.
