GB> Flexible Flea rediscovered

[Edward Swynar VE3 CUI]

I always had a hankering for the big, heavy stuff, like the RCA AR-88
receiver...I finally got one about 8 years ago WITH an S-meter AND a
complete case!

It plays as well as I could ever have imagined it would...at the time I got
licensed (1971---age 19) I used a Hallicrafters S-77A & a homebrew 6T9
compactron rig (from March 1971 QST)...

Then I advanced eventually to the high-tech Yaesu FT-980, etc. But do you
know what? I get my greatest kicks lately fooling around with 1929 replica
rigs.

Is this retro-radio, or what?!
