[Elecraft] OT: Nostalga from 1951

[Ken Kopp]

For me it was a metal 6L6 oscillator built on a piece
of galvanized sheet metal hand-bent into a "U", and
soldered with a -BIG- soldering iron with acid core
solder. Well, I was -only- eleven. (:-)

The antenna was made ... literally ... from straight 
(unused) lengths of baling wire from the ranch's
hay baler.

My first radio was a round-topped Philco that my Mother
later sold for $2!  The baling wire antenna had been used
for it.
