Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Kris Partridge, who shares the following comment regarding John Harper’s recent post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The receiver which featured in Same Sky is of Italian manufacture, it\u2019s from Geloso but I\u2019m not able to identify which model.<\/p>\n

Here is a link to a very interest and comprehensive page, by Tony I0JX, about John Geloso the founder of the company. Scroll down, but read enroute, and there are pictures of the receivers and transmitters bearing the Geloso name.<\/p>\n

Yes, you will agree it\u2019s a Geloso in the film.<\/p>\n

It must be fifty plus years since I was allowed to touch one. As a teenager one of the \u2018Elmers\u2019 at the local amateur radio club in Torbay had a complete Geloso station.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a beautiful receiver! Thanks for the follow-up, and links to this company’s history Kris!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
