Chris’ Sharp Z-1000 AM\/FM radio (Click to enlarge)<\/p><\/div>\n

I had the pleasure of seeing SWLing Post reader, Chris, again this year at the 2013 Hamvention. \u00a0Chris has enjoyed remarkably good luck in the flea market\/tailgate section of the Hamvention; in fact, last year he found a Zenith Transoceanic 1000<\/a> and<\/em> a Transoceanic Royal 7000<\/a>. (I have a special affinity for the Royal 7000, as it this was the first radio on which I cut my teeth, and which I still fire up from time to time.)<\/p>\n

Chris just sent a photo of his find from this year’s Hamvention: a Sharp Z-1000. The name was familiar…and when he sent a photo, I knew where I had seen it. Earlier this year, Jeff at the Herculodge<\/a>\u00a0posted a link to a Z-1000 on eBay.<\/p>\n

Chris reports that the Z-1000 audio is pleasant and that FM and especially AM reception are impressive. Great find, Chris!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
