As a follow-on to Dave's recent posts about the Bendix, here's one you
don't see often - a Sea Rad MM-50 made by Multi Products Company of Oak
Park MI, aka "Multi Elmac":

The eBay seller I got this from said he was told it came off of a Great
Lakes ore ship, but there's no proof of that and I haven't been able to
trace it's original callsign.   But I fantasize that it's true and every
year as 'the gales of November come early' the anniversary of the
sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald prompts me to put it on the air.

I've used it on several local AM nets recently and there is a link at
the bottom of the page above where you can listen to my check-in to the
DX-60 Net today on 3880 kHz.    The audio is punchy and the band was
starting to fade, but not a bad signal for 37 watts at a distance of 328
miles a bit after 9AM at the recording location.
