    What is the black thing on the radio & what is in that white box next to it?
    Is that pic taken at your old home or your new one?

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Actually it's a cleverly designed Yagi antenna designed to get the most from short wave, still working fine as we picked up the declaration of WWII two years after I restored it.


    And no, it doesn't come with wafers.
