    DOES ANYONE REMEMBER AES (Amateur Electronic Supply) AND THEIR CATALOG?

    I believe AES closed down in 2016. But more to the point, when I first became interested in ham radio (late 70's, early 80's) their catalog was one of the best, with plenty of pages of eye candy, along the lines of the Sears Wish Book. Having been into CB radio since 1968 I'd find one or 2 pages...

    I've been scanning some photo's of past-present gear, starting with:

    COURIER GLADIATOR: One of the biggest darn mobile radios I've ever owned (solid-state :sneaky:) This one, and the other B&W shot's were for a project I was working on back in the '90's The Regency Imperials were well-made rigs, but I never quite understood DSB until years later. The Palomar...

    Odd ball part request: Regency Imperial logo

    If someone has a junker Regency Imperial, I'm looking for the 2pc.logo that's normally found in front of the speaker. Thanks!

    Chameleon F-Loop Review

    In an earlier review of the P-Loop 2.0 I wrote: "Living in an HOA stronghold I've tried several ways to have clandestine outdoor antennas :sneaky:, but they were spotted by HOA observers with binoculars so I tried some indoor wire antennas. Last year I took the plunge and bought the P-Loop...

    The purchase of a Turner Plus 2 Hand Mic is a crap shoot

    I thought I'd post this for anyone contemplating a purchase of the Ye-Old Turner Plus 2 Hand Mic. These were as popular as the desktop version for over 10 years, but when buying one on Ebay you should take the precaution to ask the buyer if they have opened it up to check for a cruddy battery...

    Turner Super Sidekick vs. Sidekick 100

    So the Super Sidekick had several versions of the pcb inside, but does anyone know what the difference was between the Sidekick 100 (non-super) and the Super Sidekick? Same cartridge and internal pcb? TIA - Woody

    ALL I CAN SAY IS ... "WOW"

    I wanted to share my wow moment with you - P Periodically I look at Ebay auctions that are selling CB QSL cards in hopes of finding mine from the late 60's (no. this doesn't end with that). Yesterday thought I'd try Google and did an image search for CB QSL cards from Connecticut and low and...

    Citronics Catalog '68

    I ran across an old Citronics catalog from 1968. As you can see, it's crudely made, but at least it has pictures (I bought from a distributor in Boston around that time and they only supplied 6 typewritten sheets of paper). I scanned some of the interesting parts...

    CB "WISH" BOOKS

    Growing up with CB in the late 60's/early 70's I had a plethora of magazines and catalogs (i.e. -"wish" books) to choose from, the most popular wish books being the ones from Echo and Henshaws. I spent a lot of time looking at these, as well as memorizing radio specifications from various yearly...
