Re: [IRCA] Old radio pictures!
So I guess I'm not the only one with a Hallicrafters S-53A sitting around the house... https://picasaweb.google.com/PianoPlayer88Key/RadioPicsStuff?authkey=Gv1sRgCIer0efojpPg8AE#5606866639550406994 Last time I turned it on (which was several years ago - you can probably tell from the spiderwebs in the photo) I was only able to get a few local MW stations at midday - probably 600 (5kW @ 8 mi), 760 (5kW @ 7 mi), 910 (5kW at 9 mi), 1130 (10kW @ 6 mi), 1170 (50kW @ 6 mi) and 1360 (5kW @ 8 mi). It hasn't had any antenna hooked up for quite some time, so I don't really know what its performance is supposed to be like. Anyone know about this model? As I said, it hasn't been operated in quite a while, and probably isn't even plugged in at the moment. Also, question how does not having a ferrite bar antenna make the S-38 better? I have a couple cheapo radios with ferrite bar antennas (Panasonic RQ-SW44V and Ultronics Sports radio), and even though they have trouble picking up a 50kW from 111 miles away on 1070 across good ground (some of which is saltwater), they run circles around the Hallicrafters radio pictured, as is. Stations which are armchair copy, almost static free on the small radios were barely detectable, if even readable at all, on the S-53A last time I turned it on. In turn, to compare radios that more of you are likely familiar with, the Tecsun PL-606 and Sony SRF-59 mop the floor with the aforementioned Panasonic Ultronics on sensitivity. Is there something about not having an internal antenna that makes a radio perform better when hooked up to an external antenna? (Also how would its sensitivity compare with a portable with a ferrite bar (Sangean PR-D5, Tecsun PL-606, Sony SRF-59, GE Superradio, etc) when it has an equivalent antenna hooked up?) --- On Fri, 5/13/11, Craig Healy bu...@dukes-of-hazzard.com wrote: From: Craig Healy bu...@dukes-of-hazzard.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] Old radio pictures!

Re: [IRCA] Old radio pictures!
Ahh..hmm... I would have thought it would have disconnected an internal antenna, like a few modified Tecsun models (PL-606, PL-310, PL-390) do. (I say modified because as shipped the jack only works for FM/SW, but can be rewired to take a MW/LW antenna.) On Sun May 15th, 2011 11:07 AM PDT Powell E.

Re: [IRCA] Old Radio Pictures (and other interesting tidbits)
In the Old Radio category; correct me if I'm wrong but the Call letters of US stations were started with the W because the first eastern stations were operated by the Westinghouse (Electric Company--not sure of this part of the name) with the strange exception of KDKA Pittsburgh--the first Westinghouse station.So that segways me to the question: How and why were all the western stations ( with the exception of a few easterns- in Phily and Pitts ) using the K as the first of 3 or 4 call letters? Anyone out there with a definite answer out there?

Kevin Adamsville, TN Also not exactly correct. There was indeed a treaty - or at least a convention, the London International Radiotelegraphic Convention of 1912 - but the US didn't sit it out. It was an active participant, and it received a bunch of callsign blocks, including most of N, all of W and most of K. (I believe the current A callsigns came later, at least after WWI and possibly after WWII.) http://earlyradiohistory.us/1914reg.htm The custom after the 1912 adoption of international callsigns was to use K for shore stations on the Pacific coast, W for shore stations on the Atlantic coast, and that custom continued into broadcasting. KDKA was one of several stations that were anomalies; their callsigns came from a call block intended for ships, and the custom then was that ships in the Atlantic got K signs and ships in the Pacific got W signs. http://earlyradiohistory.us/kwtrivia.htm http://earlyradiohistory.us/recap.htm s ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Old radio pictures!
In 1957 I owned a SX-38. When I went into the navy, my mother dicided that I no longer needed such things and gave it away. Also given away was all my Tops baseball cards. Somehow she missed my Radio-TV Experimenter mags with Whites radio log from 1954 to 1960. I still have them. Willis, K4APE Old Fort, TN - Original Message - From: Powell E.

The S-38 series ended and then the S-120 emerged. The S-38 series was way better on AM as it did NOT have a ferrite bar antenna. They both have the capacity to electrocute you if you are not careful. They are AC-DC sets and a metal cabinet. NOT GOOD!

And let's not forget the Knight Kit Star Roamer. For $39.95 you could buy it in kit form, and those who successfully built it had a rig that sort of looked kinda like an S-120 and performed kinda like a DX-150.
