I've been following this thread for a while, but had to jump in when someone
said to get a speaker from a dead Drake! Now that hurts, because the only
rigs at this QTH are Drakes, and there are no dead one! They all live... LOL
And yes, I bought my first receiver with a paper route income. It was an
Hallicrafters SX-11 that cost me $15.00. Try to buy one of those now.
