[R-390] Travel and see Radios....?

[Dan Merz]

Hi,  I think Henry Rogers still has the museum - he's still active in
radio.  I have contacted him occasionally with questions about some of the
details of sets we have in common.  He once wrote an article in ARC on the
Patterson PR-10 with preselector,  and when I found this pair locally,  he
was nice enough to share some of his experience with it,  Dan.
