I remember my first good DX on this radio; Radio Australia (ABC) on the
25m band. As a 12 year old, I couldn't really believe my ears. Got it
from my step-mother after she got tired of it. And since FM was long
common then (1970), she had no use for it. So, that was some tales of my
first radio-love.

Around 1964, my mother got me a Hallicrafter's S-120 at Sears for about
$70. I got about 40 countries on that POS, before I moved on to
something better. Now, for nostalgia, I have a refurbed Knight Star
Roamer, like the S-120, and it is still a dead duck!
