[AMRadio] Old Novice Days

[k0ng at inebraska.com]

Nice to remember "the good ole days" Ronnie.

No amount of Foreign radios or internet will ever beat that.

I arrived in 1955 with homebrew transmitter, regen receiver and then
Haliscratchers S77 and ARC-5 receiver. Better than Hershey !!

Keep Going.  73 DE Charlie, K0NG  ..
