[R-390] Washington D.C. radio related tourist stops?

Thu, 23 Jan 2003 18:00:42 -0500

	I can't remember if that particular radio is in the Smithsonian's 
"Information Age" exhibit. They still have some very nice radio, 
telegraph, TV, computer, etc. items in the exhibit, although when I 
visited it last August they had pulled the British code cracking bombe 
from the WWII section. Still, well worth the visit.
	Not completely radio related, I highly recommend visiting the recently 
opened International Spy Museum. Go early, plan on spending an entire 
day. There are, of course, spy radios in their collection. They also 
have some familiar radios in the museum, such as a Hallicrafters or two 
and an HRO in the WWII section. I'm suprised they don't have a nice 
R390A, SP-600 or AR-88 in their lineup, perhaps sometime in the future.
