Very nice video, Ray - and a great restoration.  It was appropriate to be listening to CHU on a Canadian receiver, eh?

I have very little vintage/military gear here on Kauai, but the modern gear I brought just isn't as much fun to work with.  My TRC-77 CW transceiver and its accessory bag were accidentally brought by the movers.  I must have left it sitting in my office near the stuff to be brought to Hawaii.  I am also working on a PRR-9 and PRT-4 that I hope to bring to Hamvention for 51 MHz operations.  They seemed light enough for air travel.

Stand-along military receivers like the WS-52 such as the BC-342, BC-348, command set receivers, AN/GRR-5, etc have always appealed to me.  They offer relative simplicity and the signal clarity of being more closely connected to the "ether".
