I dunno, he has some pretty nasty funk going all the time on this
newsgroup...

Clintons be the first to go. American politics will not be healthy until
they are purged from the system. Issue exit visas to Trent Lott and Tom
DeLay, to Dick Armey, to the ancient and awful Strom Thurmond and the
odious Jesse Helms. Let the ostraca fall upon the bombastic charlatan
Jesse Jackson, upon Henry Hyde and Maxine Waters, upon Barbara Boxer
and Orrin Hatch." - Lance Morrow,

That's a cool radio. If I ever decide to get funky with an old school
radio again it'll likely be an R-388 that I stumble across (I'm not
going to pay E-Bay prices for one). I've had the Hallis and couple
390As and have an NC-125 in the garage.

The bands are so sucky so often it's hard to stay focused.

I have a very nice R-388. The radio is pretty sensitive and very stable
after only a few minutes, unlike the Hammarlunds which drift for hours.
It's also quite accurate for the day. You can dial a station right to the
KHz and it'll be there. You can also, as Peter Maus warned me a long time
ago, develop a strong right arm cranking that band change knob.
Love the PTO vs Variable Capacitor.
