Sounds like a good idea! Once I get moved to my new place and get the
antennas up, I will be doing more. Speaking of Boat Anchors, I kinda miss
the glow and "warmth" of the tube sets on a cold winters night.. Not to
mention the audio. My Kenwood TS440 is a nice rig, but it doesn't compare to
the audio of the tube rigs. I can't wait!

I know what you mean, Lou. Most of my operating -- listening or hamming
-- is with stuff like my FT-817, or a little DX-375 receiver that I take
with me when camping or traveling. But when it came down to sheer
listening pleasure, I miss that old Radio Shack DX-160 with the big
speaker and analog dial. I don't remember how much of that rig was
solid state (it's been a few years), but it had a SOUND that was pure
joy to listen to! Back when we had a house -- instead of the condo
we're in now -- my ham station was out in the garage, so when I was out
there puttering around I'd fire up the DX-160 and tune in one of the
big-gun SW broadcasters like HCJB, BBC, Radio Netherlands or Deutsche
Welle and just listen for the fun of it.

OK, that's it, I'm going over to eBay and rec.radio.swap and see what's
available...! ;-)
