I saw one of those R-274's at a hamfest at least 20-25 years ago. The guy selling it wasn't at the table, but his partner ID'ed it for me. It was selling for 150 bucks and looked pristine. I thought about buying it, but didn't want to hump it to the outer solar system where my car was parked.

For Sale / Wanted / Barter / Re: WTB/WTT For Halicrafters SP-600 Reciever
« Last post by Pigmeat on Today at 02:52 »I think you are looking for a Hammarlund SP-600, not a Hallicrafters.
Hallicrafters made their own version of the SP600, called the R-274 or SX-73. While it was supposed to be functionally the same, it looked much different. They are somewhat rare and I have only seen a handful over 50 years in the hobby.

« Last post by Pigmeat on Today at 02:12 »Something like this was on 6930 two nights ago. Visible carrier, wide sidebands, and little to no audio. I figured someone forgot to switch their transmitter off, or a military agency was using it as a marker frequency?

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / AMA, RVA, PCO 2300 UTC 31 JAN 2023
« Last post by Maxwells Daemon on Today at 00:56 »AMA, RVA, and PCO were popping up out of the noise for a few seconds at various times. Each was pretty strong during peaks.
I heard others but not strong enough or long enough for positive IDs.
Lots of ionosonde sweepers and occasional data signals this afternoon besides the usual diathermy.
