As Glenn K9STH said, we were having so much fun working "DX" with whatever we had that we did not notice how broad, how insensitive, how whatever they were.

We are really spoiled today with the fantastic receivers available to us.  But the thrill of using a WS#19 set, S-22R,  BC454 or whatever to make real QSOs is missing.  I guess that is why so many of us who became hams in the 50s like boatanchors today.
