Using this combo, the old HE-10, 8 tubes, sort of like a bigger brother
of the S-38. With a good ground and the Terk loop, I am pulling in some
really great AM DX. I am only a mile from the ocean, Atlantic coast, and
have yet to hear some European stations. Did pick up the big blowtorch
from Saudi Arabia on 1521. Trying to get all the states east of the MS,
so far doing pretty well. I could use my newer portables, but going old
school is fun, brings back the fun in DX'ing.

Any run of the mill tube radio front-end has better specs than most
solid state radios. That Lafayette ran circles around the Halli. Great
piece of design.
