My very first rig was an HW-8 kit, but i sold the unfinished kit and got an old Galaxy V. Frank, KL7FH, tweaked it for me as he was a really sharp guy.

Neat, National I thought made some neat looking gear in their day, but I think real radios were made to glow.Originally Posted by KE0ZU
Been partial to national gear for a several years now, but have also had Hammarlund and Hallicrafters stations in the past. Currently working on another Hallicrafters HT-32 to pair up with the SX-101, and, an ART-13 to go with my old trusty BC-348 from the 70s, and use on military nite. The old all mode Gonset GSB-100 has outlasted just about all of them except for the bc348.
This is the current station.

All them radios glow in the dark, except for the black rice burner in the bottom pic.

Nice! My first SWL station was a NC-98 and seeing those matching National speakers on the top shelf brought back some great very late night memories basking in the glow of whatever I could find.

Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
I had a National NC-33 when I was 10. My said it was junk. I listened to everything on it.
I always thought I would like doing that...Trucking, I mean.
Too old to change now...

Sorry. My bad. I guess they do it a litle different in Vegas, but that's the gamble you take when you go there.
