What Vintage Radio Equipment are You Using?

Hiya John,

You do have a nice collection of radios mate, something to admire
Back in the day I bought quite a few rigs and just loved using them all when I could. All lost in the mists of time now.
So glad that people still admire the old rigs and cherish them, nice trip down memory lane seeing them still about.

I used to see these radios in a few shops around the west end of London when i was a whippersnapper, i was impressed by their  appearance compared to normal run of the mill type radios around in the 80`s and still am

My Midland Portapak (1988 version).

Heres my shack. Antennas are two dipoles, One for 20M and one for 40M and theres an Imax at the end of the garden for 11M. Discone in the attic and two long wire antennas for SWL.

Superstar 360 and a 9FDX?

Yeah why not. Got a couple of SS360FM's and Cobra 148GTL DX radios but you cant beat a good Stalker.
