That's my Popular Electronics Shortwave Monitor registration number. Interesting story behind it. The PE employee who ran the whole thing is named Hank Bennett. Still alive, has the database, won't share it with anybody.

After the BC-348, got a National NC-77X for Christmas, 1964. Still have it. My dad had a Kenwood R-300 and R-5000, have both of them.

Now it's...

Kenwood R-300, R-5000.
National NC-46, NC-77X, NC-105, NC-121, HRO-500.
Hallicrafters S-20R, SX-62A, SX-100, SX-110.
Hammarlund HQ-120X, HQ-145, HQ-145X, HQ-170, HQ-180, HQ-180A.
Military surplus BC-348, and, oh yeah, R-390A/URR.

Of course, I'm just a hacker compared to Sandy!!

I'd still love to have a Halli SX-28 and SX-42. I'm probably going to start getting rid of the less desirable ones first.
