I don't remember that one but I like the looks. Many vintage radios are pretty cool but harder to find in good shape.

I got my Novice license in 1971 and then my Advanced around 1972/1973. I was very active on HF for maybe 10 years and then life happened so I let my license expire completely well beyond the grace period. I didn't play around with Ham Radio for a long time. Took the General exam maybe a dozen years ago and passed but my HF operation these days is very limited.

I have the Icom IC-746 Pro that I used at our previous home just for listening with a hidden long wire antenna. It's heavy. The compact Yaesu FT-891 is what I use if I'm lugging gear up to the mountains.
