Meir,

Now that you've said that, I guess I'll have to put the RU-19 on my  
want list!  In the meantime, I suppose it would not be bad to my  
BC-348 with the GO-9.

I'm trying to identify the radio I borrowed from an elmer when I was a  
Novice.  It had a square front panel, and was somewhat deeper than it  
was wide/tall.  There was a very small dial window in the middle top  
that was very hard to read.  The dial was similar to the ARB one, but  
it extended out from the  panel a bit in the way the BC-348 one does  
if I remember right.   I think the glass was curved to magnify they  
small dial plate behind.  The thing almost certainly used octal  
tubes.  Any ideas?  I thought it might be an ARB, but pictures of  
those that I see do not show the radio I remember.

I have a calibration chart I made up for that radio, with notes on the  
radio type and serial number I think, so it's a mystery that will be  
solved once I find that notebook of old.  I do still have the LM  
frequency meter I must have used to make that calibration graph.

That elmer was W1MHS. He was the postmaster of Mount Herman School in  
Northfield, Mass, near where I lived, and may have gotten that call  
during the 40's.  That call was in the QTH data base some time ago,  
but is not  now.  It's quite likely the call is lapsed due to old age,  
or even SK status - this was in the late 1950's.
