[R-390] R-389 Sold For $3550.00 on eBay

[L.D. Ritta]

That's nothing I have Sony Car radio that I get 3 SW bands and no BFO! I
listen to WWV and WWVH or 5 10 and 15mcs and I also get JJY. I get an idea
if the band is open on 40 and 20m all I have is a standard car radio antenna
nothing else and when the bands open WWV or WWVH comes in loud and clear. 
73 Lee.

That's about it. I've got a nice BC-342 that tunes beacons and is a  
wonderful AM broadcast receiver.  An in the wagon I have a Becker  
radio that covers 40 and 30 meters, it's a shame it doesn't have a  
BFO. It'll get WWV at 10 Mhz-- can you imagine WWV as "driving  
music"????? [does it tune to 19 meters? I don't remember]

Yea, it'll make 'em want to SuperSize everything, but now they won't  
be able to sue McDonalds, so they'll try to sue me for making them  
want to eat too much. LOL
