[Premium-Rx] Friedrichshafen 2023

[Fernando]

Dear friends,

HAM 23 is approaching, and I will hopefully be going there again this year. Last year’s edition was my first one, and it left in me an extremely positive impression and great memories. I met some very distinguished members of this group such as Heinz DH2FA, Henk PA0HKZ, Zlatko 9A6SUE, and a few others.
I hope this edition it will be still bigger and better than last year, which was the first one since corona hit, I believe. I am looking forward to it very much, and my plan is driving from Madrid and back with some fellow Spanish enthusiasts, as we did last year.

I was just wondering if anyone in this group who might also be going to Friedrichshafen would have a good Soviet-era R-250 receiver to sell (or 250M or any of the other variants). I am not sure if this RX fully qualifies as “Premium”. But to me it does, and it is a very charming one too. But it is an extremely heavy piece of equipment, so the few I have come across on ebay etc were too far away from here and, understandably, the sellers offered no shipping.  

I am also (always) looking for a Marconi Apollo, another true “leviathan” of yesteryear. So, if by chance (and I know this is a long shot) anyone would be heading to the Hamfest with the intention of selling one of these, I am very interested.

Best regards, 73
