That’s my bathroom radio. A few dents, scratches by now, though.
Oooooohhhhhh! Radio porn!!
Imagine a couple in a restaurant sitting at a table tapping Morse with CW Keys at each other!
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Hold on now....POW’s and prisoners use Morse.
Couple of us ‘ditheads’ get together and maybe one tap on the table and see if other will answer.
NOW, if you want to get DX, carrying the transceiver and antenna on your back may prove to be cumbersome.
That is why they gave us a ship to install all the equipment on -
there you go flaunting your wealth again......

And it’s easily the nicest fixture in the bathroom.

Always have a radio in the bathroom.
Powers out, Tornado is bearing down...

I understand but I see people texting each other at dinner, or in the same room.
Hm. Might have to tune my Grundig away from the local classic-rock station.
Bets on how long it takes before all their airtime is bought out by Alex Jones and his ilk?

I understand,....was just being a wisenheimer or - to stretch along the ‘meaning’ of wisenheimer, just acting the ‘Sexual Intellectual” as we were wont to accuse each other ....
I was so ‘perfect’ I managed to send it twice /sarc...
Of course in using Morse that would have been a ‘pain’....

Nice to see a new broadcaster.
We’ll see how they do.
I should be able to pick it up on my 160 meter loop.
I hope it’s good.
Halloween is a great debut.
