The big problem is why did I get it and what do I do with it now that I am
done? I guess I just wanted to see what I could accomplish as physically it
is in nice condition. It really is too large to economically ship
considering what I already have in it. I would give it to a local youngster
if I knew one who would appreciate it.
You might give it to a local club to loan out to new tech licensees who are
interested in getting their "low bands ticket" (general licence or higher). They
can learn what different bands are like, how QSOs go, etc. I will be loaning out
one of my fix-it radios to a friend for that purpose.
If you wanted to make it have better ears, you could make a preamp for it. It
covers a wider swath of the radio spectrum than many general coverage receivers
do. If you have room for it, maybe make it a decoration in the house? That's
what we did with a telegraph key and "clicker" that goes with it. It was on a
nice wooden base and we put it inside a glass case.
