After hearing strange signals on some toy multiband radios,
my first receiver was an Allied A-2509 that Radio Shack had
on sale in the late 60's, about the time they split with Allied
Radio. Only covered four bands - SW Broadcast bands on
6, 9, 11 & 15 MHz, no SSB. Cut grass for weeks to earn the
money....

My parents through the radio away while I was in college (and
using a Panasonic RF-2200). I always missed that radio, so I
bought one in great shape, last year, off eBay. It won't replace
my Icom, but it still has a place in my memories.
