   Y'all keep yore cotton-pickin' hands OFF my Veeder-Root!

   Wouldn't be a '390' if it didn't make that lovely, complex machine-y 
"sound" while idling thru the bands, looking for an SSB/QRM-less window in 
the AM window.


   Although the previous suggestion of an all-vacuum tube BFO pitch display 
might be alluring...   and I think it could be done nearer the 30-tube 
figure, counting the Nixies for display.


   Cheers
