[AMRadio] Boat Anchor Receiver

[Rob Atkinson]

I did the gen. cov. rx thing in my novice days and first few years as
a general.  hated it.   "what frequecy am I really on?"  a xtal
calibrator is a must.  Even so I never could shake the feeling I was
getting by with a SWL rx and not a real ham rx.  I knew two novices
who had a NC303 and I drooled over it.   To me a real rx was a ham
band only rx.   I guess I still have that feeling now however back
then I never knew about R-388s and gov't spook receivers.
