[Elecraft] K4?

[Jim Brown]

Me too -- my first station was a surplus BC-459 Command set for 40M, 
modified and given to me by one of the hams in the club that taught me 
CW and radio theory, and an S38D receiver.  On a trip to Manhattan, my 
dad later bought me an ARC5  for 80M for which he paid about $15 from a 
shop on "radio row" in lower Manhattan that advertised in the back pages 
of QST. He described it as pretty rough territory.  A few years of 
saving from summer jobs got me much better receiver, a BC348.
