I was talking to Kurt KC8ULG just now and we got to talking about antique radios. He has a small collection, including a Korean war vintage receiver and a Hallicrafters HT-32 transmitter. He’s also just purchased a regenerative receiver kit, which is not strictly an antique, but the design certainly is. I have a few vintage radios myself, including a couple of Hallicrafters receivers and a 1940s Philco.
Since our monthly club meeting was just yesterday, that got me thinking that having an antique radio “show and tell” might make a good program for an upcoming meeting. I know there are others who also have some cool old radios they could show off.
Kurt also mentioned that he has an old Dumont Oscillograph, one of the first oscilloscopes. That got me to thinking about yet another topic for a meeting–how to use an oscilloscope.
Do you have any suggestions for up coming meetings? If so, please comment below. Thanks!
