I'd love to have one of the radios from my youth, most notably the Zenith Transoceanic H500. It was circa 50s tube set with push-button band selection and a circular dial. Solid as a rock, too. It was portable, and received quite well with it's built-in telescoping antenna. My radio hobby led me to electronics, which led to TTL digital logic, then to computers. It was a smooth ride. Amateur Radio was part of the journey, too, including packet radio. - Earl (73 DE KB6JIV)
