Someone might want to check out 6925 as I can hear very weakly some flute

Far past sunrise here, but perhaps someone else farther west might have some

How bout east? Jack Pine Savage.

Yeah, just seconds ago as I stepped outside to have a smoke, I thought that they
might just be farther east as well.

Heard here best on my north-south wire vs. the west-east wire.
Very weak, though seemingly improving.

Steve, I thought you stopped the smokes? 12:46u, something new coming in
on 6925u. s6 here, lots of hash from last nights storms. Religious wars?
can't quite pull it in. RX340 just not doing it this morning. Gotta dig
out one of the WJ's.

Thinking of WJ's, here is one (a BAE) that apparently sold at Universal recently:

Yep, saw that during the week. I have a 8711A and a 1000 in the
collection. Don't have a BAE, and thought about it. It was already
marked hold by Wednesday. Looks clean in the picture, someone got
a nice price. Only hole in my Watkins-Johnson run is an 8718A-MFP-10.
Friend Jerry, in Ohio says that's the hardest to find. So, I'm
not holding my breath here, but I can dream. Do have way too many
radios here anyhow. If I ever do get to retire, I may thin the
herd down to just the "Cold-War-Warriors", and part with the
regulars. Yeah, right. If I get hit with a truck my kids are going
make a bunch of money. It's a disease Steve, you know that. I bet
you still got all your Drakes there.

Yeah, every now and then I think about selling the R8 and R8A and keeping the R8B and my
R7.

Just saw an R7A sell on eBay for I think $1576.00. That was with the 2.3 kHz filter and
the stock wire across the filter board for maybe 9 kHz selectivity.

I never quite understand why the R7A commands such a high price. Since it is an R7 with
the NB7A noise blanker an 2.3 kHz filter and said wire stock.

My R7 currently has 2.3, 3 (Sherwood), 4, 6, and 8 kHz filters, NB7A NB, and AUX-7
program board installed.

I don't use it every day, but in tough situations it is always here.
