[Hallicrafters] SX-130

[W5HTW at att.net]

Thanks to all who commented on the SX-130.  I checked out the various sites I 
was referred to.  Since I basically got the rig for 40 bucks, and 40 for the 
Viking II, whatever the SX-130 does is OK with me.  The Viking will likely be 
paired with either the SX-71 or the NC109 currently in the shack, (most 
likely the later) but the SX-130 is definitely a toy I will enjoy for a while. 
 Could make a good SWL receiver.  

Re: My web site.  Haven't messed with it in a while, so not surprising at 
broken links.  May try to fix it.  It is up for a total revamping, but 
temporary vision problems caused by diabetes make that a project for perhaps 
later in May.  

thanks again to all
