What gear did you use when you
first started listening?
Jerry Berg - My first receiver, circa 1958, was a Knight-Kit "Ocean Hopper" regenerative,
from which I graduated to a Heathkit
AR-3 with QF-1 Q-multiplier,
and then a Knight-Kit R100 with a
crystal calibrator. In the
early 1970s I used a Heathkit SB-310 before moving to a used Hammarlund
HQ-180A. "I still remember listening to ELWA
on that 'Ocean Hopper.' It was early digital--the tuning dial
was marked in 0-100 digits."
