\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday, as I took a little time to curate a massive<\/em> collection of photos I took at the Museum of Radio and Technology<\/a>, I posted a few “boat anchor” (heavy metal vintage radio) photos and labelled them “Boat Anchor Tuesday” on Twitter and Facebook.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Much to my surprise, I received a number of comments and emails with readers asking for more Boat Anchor Tuesday pics!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I’ve decided to make it a feature here on the SWLing Post<\/em>. After all, anyone who knows me knows that I’m a massive<\/em> fan of boat anchors!<\/p>\n

Your photos on Boat Anchor Tuesday!<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Please send me a photo (or a few) of your favorite boat anchor. Every Tuesday, I’ll feature a reader’s boat anchor here on the SWLing Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you can, include a few sentences about the radio: how you obtained it, what you like about it or any memories. We radio nostalgic people love this stuff!<\/p>\n

Please send photo(s) and radio blurb to my email address found on our Contact page<\/a>.<\/strong> I only plan to post one radio per week, so these will be scheduled far ahead to post automatically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
