I never had any Hallicrafters receivers but did once own an HT-32
transmitter. About the only piece of Ham gear I have left is a mint
condition HQ-140-X in completely original condition


My first receiver was a Hallicrafters SX-43. Paired with a Knight-Kit
T-60, I'd love to have both back again.

I've had a lot of fun in as a ham in the last 48 years, but I don't
think anything will compare with the QSO's I made as a novice with a
crystal rig and dipole.




Yep, those were the days.

I started out wit an HQ-110 rcvr and a Johnson Adventurer xmtr . I will
never forget the 6AG7 to 807 combo.

When I got my General ticket I added a slightly drift Knight Kit V-100
VFO and a homebrew cathode modulator.

The cathode modulator plugged into the key jack and was made from all
junk box parts. It was no where near as good as a plate modulator but I
liked it better then screen grid modulation. I think input power was 25
watts max but I did manage to get out just a bit.
