SPECIAL CORONA VIRUS EMERGENCY EDITION
We thought it would be nice to put out a special edition of the podcast to help listeners keep up their morale during this difficult time. So we’ll do our regular kind of show, but we’ll try to emphasize things you can do to stay busy and keep up morale while stuck at home.

The S-38E is OK, but in appearance it takes a backseat to the S-38C. The “E” is just a box; the “C” has curves! –Jerry AA6KI
Jerry: The S-38E has a picture window. And markings that include USSR, Java, Cairo, Congo, Iceland, Angola and Brazil. And the CONELRAD frequencies. JAVA! 73 Bill
You’ve almost persuaded me! 🙂 I remember how much fun it was in the 1950s to try markings like those on my parents’ SW radio. 73. Jerry
Other markings: Moscow, Berne, Alaska, Athens, Greenwich, Boston, Rome. But Java is clearly the best. 73 Bill
Bill: Is that your love of coffee speaking?
I think the Java attraction comes from the book “Krakatoa, East of Java.” And from the movie “Year of Living Dangerously.”
Is the QSP magazine available online?
