[GreenKeys] Shortwave Receivers

Thu Jun 19 01:05:25 EDT 2014

Tony  and others  -  I built a regenerative   SW  set  and it  was ... well 
ok  
hated the un calibrated   dial etc.....  but 
I started with a Firestone  table radio with SW band and about  the same 
time
my grandmother gave me...
 then I got a S 40B Hallicrafters  ( just  re-got  one  for old times sake!)

My grandmother downsized and  she gave me the EH Scott 800B
what a  great sounding radio!  

and then  I got a navy RBM  SW  set... 
which started the  influx of all 
the all the tonnage  of  surplus   gear!

Then when in  the USAF    I would  use the  spare  r390a  to SWL with...  
we had one   from tower  WWV and an would use the spare to SWL with   

Now have lots of  stuff on display in  SMECC  but   what  i  fire up is a 
r388 collins   and a solid state   Kenwood R-1000   and    some  
countermeasures  receivers  for   UHF and microwave. ( but they are pretty   wide band!)

Jeff  speaking of  Drake 2B receiver Robert Weitbrecht   the  father  of 
deaf teletype communications had one... it is   going to be in a static  
display so need not  work or be  complete even! ( but if it is so much the 
better!)  need  just  the base receiver... he did not have the matching speaker ..

GN  OMs;

Me and my Dad went over to one of his fellow co-worker's
house  for dinner. His fellow co-worker was an amateur
radio operator. I had no  idea what that meant. After
dinner he took us out to the garage, pulled out  a home-brew
regenerative shortwave receiver, connected a piece of "random  wire"
to it, and fired it up.

There are no words in the English  language to explain how
mesmerized I was!

Well - if you were a  shortwave indoctrinate - here is a website for  you:
