Ralph,

Thanks. I'd like a scanned copy, too. Thanks much.

That article has special interest for me:  I happened to find a copy of the 
October, '44 QST and bought it because it's my birth month. (I also have a 
National Geographic, and a Life magazine.)  Previously, I'd known bout the 
SX-28 but thought it was too old and likely too much trouble to restore for 
me to put it very high on my want list.

Then I read that article.  It tells about the DF capability at those 
stations located waaaay out in the boonies in Alaska and the Aleutians, the 
Babcock rotatable antennas, and shows the SX-28's in use.  That did it. I 
just had to have one.  Since then, I've acquired two SX-28's, one early and 
one A version.  Neither have had their overhaul, but I have collected the 
needed replacement bottom panel for one, and I think I have a working 
S-meter to replace the ordinary panel meter kludged in and mounted upside 
down in one receiver.

Sooo.. eventually, I'll overhaul at least one of these, and most likely put 
the thing in my living room for occasional SWL-ing and to help bring up our 
four-year old properly. (She's already taken a liking to the 75-4 in the 
radio room.)
