It is my regret that I have very little in the way of valve (tube for

It saddens me when I think of the valved RXs that I once had and then
let
go, R210, R1475, HRO,
R1155, RA17 and for TX, KW Vanguard, FT101E (twice), Codar AT5,
Sommerkamp
747.

Still, tomorrow I hope to go a little way to correcting the bias by
picking
up an FT200
and an Eddystone 640!

I do havve sitting on the shelf a Trio 830s, though, although hidden
behind
thepile of QRP rigs.




s640 was my first rx....still got one ....

The R107 was my first RX - bought in 1958 for 13 pounds 10 shillings,
plus 1 pound 10 shillings carriage. I remember the evening it arrived.
I've still got it - on the desk, about 3 ' away from me. [Well, I have
to use something to keep the desk from floating in the air.]


that would bring a tear to a glass eye ....
