Equipment / Re: What Radio Did you start your listening hobby with?
« on: December 30, 2013, 1606 UTC »
I was 9 years old and wandering the lane/alleyway behind our street. In a skip I found an old Valve radio and went home and had Dad put a power plug on it. It didn't explode and I've been hooked ever since... that was 1970... I then graduated to a Sanyo Multiband RF8800(?) tied to a hombrew antenna tuner and 80ft of wire. I've owned a DR49, DR28 (on which I heard KNIX 1570? when living in Wellington, New Zealand) Moved back to the UK in 2009 and recently obtained an FRG-7700 and happy with it through a MFJ-971 tuner (built for ham bands) and a 20m dipole. I have a Yaesu FT847 and 817ND also in the shack along with a Funcube Pro+ dongle. Somehow I still don't have enough gear, you know how it is!  ::)
