[QUOTE="TimeFlipper, post: 146628, member: 6456"] Yes indeed Prof, great old radios of their day (y). I recall listening to several American Radio Hams back in the 1950s who were all using one of those Hammarlund Receivers, unfortunately none of the UK Hams could ever afford one of them...We had lots of the Eddystone receivers available that were more within our price range, plus the National HRO`s which were a fine receiver and of course the RCA AR88s :).. It was said you could throw an AR88 off the top of a skyscraper, and when you picked it up from the floor it would still work!! :D I was using an old Ultra broadcast radio that covered the 7 14 and 21Mhz bands and when the US Hams were switching to SSB, another basic radio was given to me which i used to create a "beat note" in my Ultra radio so i could resolve the SSB stations ;) After i saved up enough money from my paper round i bought one of the Marconi Canadian 52 communication receivers that were originally used in tanks...It had a BFO with heterodyne control..noise limiter..RF and AF gains..three crystal oscillators for precise frequency selection and adjustable selectivity...To coin an English phrase, it was the dogs bollox! :LOL: [MEDIA=youtube]M1nAHiVUZbU[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
