You are correct, I turn 36 later this month. When I had asked the question, I had good idea of the commercial rigs at that time. Most of them were receivers and there were very few transmitters. I had assumed that most folks built their own transmitters but wasn't sure how many built their own receivers as well as there seemed to be a decent selection of low-end to high-end receivers available along with some mid-range receivers by 1939. I have a 1936 handbook on the way along with a complete set of QST's from 1934. I've pretty much decided I will be building my own transmitter unless something like a Utah UAT-1 falls in my lap. Still trying to decide on what to do for a receiver. I have a line on an early HQ-120X for a fair price that is tempting. It is complete although it has had some minor mods done to it. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
