Hi  guys:

My 1948 rack rig is ready for its first test flight.

While  I was working on it...I would listen to my Telefunken Gavotte and 
enjoy  
some Middle Eastern music while thinking of lightly clad belly  dancers.

On occasion, I would have to make a solder joint using my  soldering gun.

Darn if the signal strength and volume of the SW station  wouldn't increase 
while I made the  connection.

Why?



Is this a navel radio?  It may be Doppler effect from the belly  movement.  
Or the dancer is besolder self thinking about you. Do you have  the antenna up?
