EV>The S-38 receiver my friend who introduced me to SW Radio was a D model.

EV>The S-38D had two D shaped windows, a reversed D and a D side by side.

EV>The S-38E that I got had the Sliderule style dial.

the D was the one I had. Nice little reciever for it's day.

EV>TW>Putting up an antenna is a roundtuit project.

EV>Be CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is one of the reasons I have not done it yet. But both are easy
projects. A 30 foot pole on one of my house and a 30 foot pole tired to
the Freeway Fence 100 feet away for the G5RV and a 15 foot pole on
the back of the house for a Comet 6 meter vertical.
