My restored, aligned GPR-90 is coming home tomorrow - excite to try the
beast on my long wire antenna! Will report later, maybe post a video.

I have owned DX-150s, 160s, Drake R8s, Grundigs, the list goes on and
on. None of those get close to the quality or stability of this GPR-90.
Of course, the thing is so big it is a pain in the ass to locate in the
house, but net of that (maybe I will set it up vertically - would that
hurt the tubes in any way?) it is one of if not the best shortwave
receiver I have owned. I may keep this one for a while.

I thought it was kind of small. But it's been a long time since I had the
use of an SP-600, or close contact with an R388, so I may remember those
as being larger than I remember. Or, I was smaller and so the radios
looked bigger. The GPR-90 seems smaller. Wait, I carried it part of the
way home, so it has to be lighter than the SP-600, which I could barely
move on the desk.
