Star Roamer Under The Tree
 
I just know that Santa will bring me my Knight Star Roamer this year. Been
waiting since 1967.

I can just smell the aroma of burning solder flux. I hope that Allied
prestripped and tinned all the wires to their exact length. I can hardly
wait to mount last component on the chassis and listen to stations through
the thick 120 cycle hum of the half-wave power supply. I just know that if
I do a real good alignment on the radio, the set will be sensitive up to
30MHz even though it has no RF amplifier. My code key is ready so I can
practice Morse when I crank up the Sensitivity control so the IF starts
oscillating.

If not a Star Roamer....maybe a Span Master will do.

Thanks Santa! I'll leave a couple of 807's for you on the table.

Ahh, fond memories. Wish I had a time machine.

Santa did bring an early gift to our house - I got an used S-38!
Maybe someday I can save up for a Heathkit GR-91...
