Default My first radio

MIne was a secind hand Hallicrafters S-40B. My parents gave it to me for
christmas when I was 11 years old. Got my first call about two years later,
back in the days you needed 10wpm. Built a Heathkit QF-1 for it when I went
on the air using a Globe Chief + Heath VFO and the S-40. Actually did DXCC
with it befor egetting a "real" receover an SX-71 !!!

Ah those were the days LOL.
