Hi, Thomas.<\/p>\n

I rarely see photos of micro radio collections, so I thought some of your subscribers may be interested in seeing my little collection.<\/p>\n

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

These are all late 50s to 60s radios made in Japan and hand soldered. Just over 50% of them are still working ( Deoxit is my best friend) l live in Adelaide Australia and recently retired doing the customary downsizing thing. Now I live in a small townhouse and have what must be one of the smallest radio shacks, 1m x 1\/2 metre!<\/p>\n

With a 50 ft long wire running front to back above my roof. I\u2019m not an overly experienced SWL, and I have a question. I have 3 SW radio\u2019s with 5 antenna attachment points. Is there a recommended antenna splitter that goes 1 into 5 without any interference ? I currently manually connect\/disconnect my antenna\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Thanks Mark Pascoe.<\/p>\n

These are simply amazing, Mark! I don’t believe anyone has ever shared photos of their micro radio collection before, so we’re most appreciative. There are some amazing designs in this collection!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
