I got the radio bug when i was stationed in S.Korea in 1961with the U S Army . I was a radio repairman /operator with access to a Collins R392 and others . Heard Radio Moscow and others encluding AM stations in California. When i got out of the Army i built a Lafaette KT 320 / HE30 and heard many stations on it . One day a ham friend who was my minister sold me a Hammarlund HQ 140x which i logged many countries on . Then i had a Radio Shack SX190 then a Icom R71a. Today i use a JRC 535d . If i ever get another receiver it will be a Percius SDR .Not long ago i found a web site where many old radios are featured . The one with the KT 320 brought back many fond memories and led me to get in contact with some of the old gang of shortwave buddies. Radio is still a great hobby for me .
