Thank you Bob. Seems by the reviews online it is a decent radio at a
good price. I figure if I buy it, never use it, I could sell it on,
and if I did like it, I could put it in my office/car, use it as a
portable system, and get something like a Ten Tec RX-320 for home
use. Might be good for me to learn how to spool up and make some home
made attennas for better SW service. My grandfather was a Ham, but I
am completely new to the whole true radio experince.

Check out any thrift stores in your area for any radios you like.I own
over 300 old radios, most of them I bought at thrift stores and junk
shops and flea markets.Check out the yard sales too.
No such thing as owning too many radios.

Well the old adage of "be careful what you wish for you just might get
it"

Someone offered me a Hammerlund HQ-129x if I carted it off...now I
know why they are called boat anchors!

I know it works, as i was able to get a country radio station on it,
but i hope the poor reception was due to my improvised antenna (some
co-axle cable) and not the radio. I downloaded the manual so I know
how to warm up the tubes and all that. (Has original knobs i think)
So now I am trying learn with about 20 foot co-ax antenna.

And sorry that my last post came in my old "Drgong" name. Anyways,
the tube radio is nice, but I suspect that if just for power usage, I
will not be overly using it.

My brother in law (he is a retired Air Force Colonel) has a big old boat
anchor radio.I never said anything to him about that radio before
because most likely he would shoot me the ''evil eye''.
