[R-390] 390A---and a bedside radio

[Barry Williams]

Larry Cogan sometimes joins the list for short spells. He had a rack of 
all Collins gear that was rolled in front of his wifes washer and dryer. 
She waited on him to roll it away when she washed clothes.

Probably the best small, modern radio for coverage and sensitivity is 
the AOR 7030+. A very hot receiver.
