A Diode Blast from the Past Anetnnas,ect.

[RICHARD BARTH]

Ahh, Radio Row, I remember it well.  I worked there one summer between high school and
college, in a place called Bonafide Electronics. It was just east of the river, about a block
from the West Side Highway. I sold hi-fi gear, speakers, test equipment, tubes (remember
them?). That soft of thing.  And I still have an Eico VOM that I bought from the store
while I was working there. The glass over the meter movement is broken out, but I still
have it for nostalgia's sake. I bought a also bought a couple of Jensen speakers that 
were reasonably priced and sounded better than many of the higher-priced models I was
selling to customers. Still have those too, along with my first stereo amplifier, which
I bought elsewhere, from a place around the corner from college.

An interlaced Yagi of some sort and the typical attic ham shack.  Coax was just coming in.  And the acknowledgement of Hams writing the ap note.  The last page has a NYC address from 500 5th Avenue.  I was lucky enough to have visited what was left of Radio Row just before it went away to make room for the World Trade Center.  Lots of memories there from a short visit. Some old guy with a visor in a second story store with piles of new WW2 radio stuff.  Looking back, wish I had bought one of each.
