Sears Roebuck 1940 Radio Amateur Equipment


That was an interesting read. Thanks for posting.

CPI calculator says that $1.00 in 1940 is $18.79 today.

Ham radio was very expensive then.

National HRO Receiver, without speaker or power supply, $179 in 1940. Equivalent to $3,363

A two element beam and rotator for $59 in 1940. Equivalent to $1,108 today.
