[Boatanchors] First radio

[Preston Clark]

i am currently looking at getting my first boatanchor radio i am
tossed between the collins 390 or the hammarlund  SP-600 i plan on
using it it for general listening  and i need to know the antenna
specifications for these and if one better than the other  i currently
live in a house that i can use a outside antenna  but need the
flexibility of maybe using a loop antenna if anyone has done that
also any ideas of adding a transmitter of the same period  thanks
