IN 1954 I had the Walter Ashe Radio kit which comprised a 2-triode
regenerative receiver [6SN7]
, a 6AG7 - 6L6 rockbound transmitter on 40 and 80, and a single power
supply with a 2-position switch.
[That's called T-R switching!]
The whole station cost aboot $50 and I really liked it. But I liked the
NC-57 which I got next better,
and then the HRO-5 better yet. But I had to use a BC-453 command set
tuned to the IF as a back end to get enough overall
gain to hear the noise.
Ah, the good old days. [But I won't try to tell you it was better than
the K3! NOTHING is better than the K3.]
