    None in the -38 or -40 flavors here, but I do have an S-20R, SX-99, and an SX-110 along with a Hammarlund HQ-110 that is paired up to a Heathkit DX-60 :)

    these don't get much play as the tubes are rare/stupidly expensive.


    This gets the play these days

    sadly shortwave broadcasting is all but dead and the propagation stinks on stink.

    Still, when the bands are open, I can escape to a different world for a short time....

    My G-pa had a Transoceanic like that one above. Sadly, when he passed, it went with the estate. Had I known to ask, I think I might have scored it. Sure spent a lot of time spinning the dial when we went to visit.
