philco 84b in todays "world"
#5

actually quite a bit.i met a retd. navy et1 that i gave a hallicrafters sx99 to. he builds his own aluminum antenna's.he said the '99 came alive at his place listening to europe. im waiting for parts for my sx 43 (i.f. transformer) and before it died during the rebuild process i had lots .but ive sort of lost interest so to speak,in any english broadcast out of china for a LONG TIME. my house isnt situated well for a meaningful antenna and i live in a subdivision. if i get the sx43 going tho ill try and find the ET1 to get some antenna ideas.i lived at 1600FT alt. in rural hawaii. thats about as good as it ever got for me.
