Default Knight StarRoamer Working Great!

Just got this radio, all restored, recapped, etc. Four
tubes and a
selenium rectifier. Great sensitivity on the BCB, pulling
in tons of
East Coast/Mid-Atlantic Stations from here in South
Florida. Never knew
a cheapie could be so fun! Of course, my first radio was
a
Hallicrafter's S-120, a real dog, not even as good as this
Knight radio.
About the same as my S-38C in performance.
Retro-listening is where it's
at.


What sort of antenna did you use on the Hallicrafters
receivers. The Star Roamer has a built in loop and may well
have done better than a short wire antenna on the others.
