TW>EV>My first RX was a Hallicrafters S-38E, it had a switch to turn on a BFO
TW>EV>to listen to CW or SSB (if you could call the circuitry in the
S-38E a BFO
TW>EV>IIRC it was just a wire routed around some sections in the chassis that
TW>EV>got 'switched in'.

TW>Interesting, My first SW Reciever was a S-38 also. I picked up mine in
TW>1948. I dropped out of that hobby during my 20 years in the Navy but
TW>after I retired I aquired a Kenwood R1000 reciever.
TW>I also have a Kenwood TS-440 that my father gave me in his declining
TW>years.

Tom,

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

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

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

TW>Putting up an antenna is a roundtuit project.

Be CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
