help for an old radio
 

Can anyone help I'm trying to get back into SW and get my 8 Year old
interested.
I dug out an old radio that I forgot where I picked it up but it has to id's on
it and I'm not sure what voltage to feed it as I'm quite rusty at this. If
anyone can help I would appreaciate it. Also Can you still get QSL cards
anymore as I thought it would be a great aspect for my son?
I can't seem to attach the pictures!

No ids? No names or numbers anywhere?

Is it a battery set? It should be easy enough to see if it takes AAs or Cs
or Ds or whatever. There is almost always a battery outline in the battery
compartment to indicate which way they go in.

Yes. Most, but not all, stations still respond.

I can't seem to attach the pictures!

Posting binaries to newsgroups from AOL is a bit involved. The instructions
can be found on the FAQ which is periodically posted the aol.newsgroups.help
group.

However, rec.radio.shortwave is not a binary group. You can post radio
releated pictures to alt.binaries.pictures.radio.
