This was really neat. Live old time radio complete with sound effects Once again terrific working WS-19 setup Incredible antenna system for the WS-19 You could buy a reconditioned BC-611 for $1000 or a Japanese copy for $2000
Another great setup from Dave K. BC-191 and BC-342. This was run most of the weekend with good reports by Ted, W3PWW. BC-191 in original transit case.
