Default Anybody Using Retro Radios?

use old, retro equipment in their shack?
I am using nothing but, and the interest has come back to my listening
pleasure. *I am using my old Layfayette HE-10, S-38 and the old trusty
RF-2200. *It is amazing, I have already gotten 15 states with the
HE-10/S-38 combo, and am finding more shortwave with the Panasonic.


Sometimes I'll drag out one of the old bandspread tuned beauties. For
a while it's fun. Eventually I start longing for a modern receiver
that doesn't require all that fiddling to jump bands or move from one
end of the band to another.
