[Boatanchors] National NCX-3

[James M. Walker]

Well,
I take it you are on 14286 on 20 AM, I am in Buffalo, N.Y. and
would look forward to a contact on 20 with you and your Morrow
twins, using my Eico 723 and 730 combination, the receiver is a
Hammarlund HQ-110A. Anytime you like I guess when the band is open.
See ya there.
