Think HAM RADIO IS EXPENSIVE ?
Heres the 1940 Sears Catalog
Electronic section ...
Link
The first receiver list is a Halicrafters SX-23
for $115.50 That equates ton $2185.48
in todays dollars
WOW it included the tubes and crystal, for two dollars
more you got this giant speaker
the receiver weight 56 lbs
I don't have much sympathy when I hear someone
Ham Radio is TOOOO
Expensive !!

Think before you act !
Be Careful, we want you alive !
Here's some
surprising facts about
FIRE
make sure you have operating smoke detectors
preferably at least one on each floor of your home .

FYI:
This test Pattern has circles,
not ovals, if you see ovals, chances are your windows settings are
incorrect for your monitor. |
PLUS:
if you have a
gas
furnace , hot water heater,
fireplace insert, anything that uses combustion
you need a CO detector |
