Yikes! That's worse than a desktop computer. Do you generate your own
electricity?

You might as well get an R-390A using 250 Watts to listen to the radio.
Zounds!


In Canada, we put the set on the floor, in front of the chair. You then put your
your feet on top of it and drape the whole works with the dead-seal-skin-lined
dressing gown.

Typical Canadian getting ready for a little shortwave listening. Note the SUMMER wear.

Winter listening *demands* dead-seal-skin-lined dressing gowns, as the heat from
the radio tubes must be captured. It warms the cockles of the heart (and other
things).
