G I wonder when Homeland Security will be driving up and down
streets to
detect local oscillator output to determine what SW frequency we're
listening
too? Allegedly, they already know what receivers we own and their
specs.

That's a good point. Most of my radios are 50 years old or more. I'm
hoping these radios are of the off the governmental radar screen, just
as the SW gold bugs say those really expensive "pre-ban" US gold coins
will be safe from confiscation.

Anyway, the internet told me the Hallicrafters SX-42/62 radios were
derived from a high sensitivity, low radaition WW2 countermeasures
receiver. I guess that explains the two RF amps. I should be fine as
long as I make sure the local oscillator radiation is still properly
supressed.

Oh, wait. That's just what they want me to think.


Naw... SW radio is a patriot's dream. I wonder what all those
air-dropped crank
radios were tuned to after their receipt? G

The crank radios are tuned to the local Clear Channel station. They are
being used as decoy radios. The real listening is being done in deep
forest bunkers with crystal radios using antennas disguised as trees.
