[R-390] Suggestions for SSB adapter for R-392?

[Robert Moses]

Oh, lest I forget I really started with MW DX using a portable 
transistor radio that I got for Christmas about the time I was 7 or 8. 
It was about lunch box size and had an external antenna jack on the side 
which was helpful for long wire antennas. I still like wire antennas.
When I was around 6 I had a crystal radio that my father made for me.
