[Elecraft] Jurrasic Radio vs. K3

[paulb]

good morning folks

great thread !
 
similar story here, young teenage years using a Heathkit HR-10 reciever, and
DX-40U both
purchased second hand.
The HR-10 was less than stellar for sideband, it had more drift than a
Japanese fishing fleet !

Very early on I was given a battery tube AM / CW transciever, which was used
on the South Pole
expedition in 1957 (?) with Sir Edmund Hillary. It had huge coloured knobs
for use with gloved hands, and
a complete set of 1.5volt batt valve spares in the cover.  A bit of radio
history which sat in a 
farm shed for years...but being a young keen ham I wrecked it for the
variable caps and whatever I could find. A shameful thing to do but probably
typical of the era !

cheers from downunder
