(video) BC-348 Vintage WW-II B-29 bomber Radio Recever Powered UP!

Posted by Jack on 27th March 2012

This past Sunday the W6BB Amateur Radio Club picked-up some gear that was kindly donated by the family of the late W6LWX (SK). Here’s a mint WWII era BC-348 receiver. This equipment really underscores the term I like to use instead of ‘boatachors’: HARDWARE DEFINED RADIO (“HDR“). Even after all these years this receiver WORKS GREAT!
