Hi Mike,

When I was in Grad school at Michigan State, I put up a no seeum dipole.  It
was made from number 26 gage wire with supports made of one quarter inch
dowels.  I'd always work on my antenna at night cause I didn't need any
light and the darkness kept reports to the police to a minimum.  I also
carried a police radio up to the roof with me just in case.

Ah yes.  I knew several people who used a Globe chief.

I started out using a Harvey-Wells Bandmaster as a Novice; I tuned it
listening to the power supply although I eventually intended to hook up a
meter-reading circuit.  Then I used a DX-100 with a "comparator" -- the
device I described wherein one matched pitches to determine meter reading.
Used a NC-300 National receiver.  Then I wend to the Drake TR-4
transceiver which I still have.  No HF gear on the air at the moment as I
live in an apartment and haven't figured out how to set up an antenna that
might be worth anything, let alone a decent ground on the bands I'm
interested in.  Would love to get back into it, though.
