Welcome to the Phorum. That radio is a great set to start with. It's a transformer powered All American 5, not overly complicated for someone starting out, and will be a decent performer when you are finished, able to pick up a lot on the AM broadcast band. You will want to make yourself an antenna for it, preferably an outside one, if you want to get the best results.
