Arriva il Geloso G4-216
Finalmente, dopo lunga attesa, nella mia stazione è arrivato anche un Geloso. E' il G4-216, valvolare per le frequenze OM degli anni Sessanta. L'ho trovato a Bologna da Carlo Bianconi, noto radioamatore, radioascoltatore, riparatore di radio e importatore in Italia della Elekraft. La Geloso, qui a Milano, aveva la fabbrica non lontano da casa mia.
Inoltre ho anche fatto, tanto per non perdere il vizio, anche qualche ascolto BC, sui 75 metri e sui 41 metri. Ecco il log. 3955 Nov 6 2112 KBS, via UK, French, reports, very good

| IL G4/216 appena posizionato nella mia stazione |
Prima o poi troverò anche un G4-220, RX a sintonia continua da 530 kHz fino a 30 MHz, con cui da ragazzo passavo i pomeriggi ad ascoltare le BC internazionali con il mio amico Cesarino, severo maestro di radio e perdite di tempo. Intanto però mi godo il G4-216. Con cui ho già passato qualche oretta in particolare sui 40 metri a sentire le chiacchiere degli OM. Fatta un po' di pratica mi sono accorto che ha una SSB calda e piacevole, certo ci vuole un po' di mano.
Inoltre ho anche fatto, tanto per non perdere il vizio, anche qualche ascolto BC, sui 75 metri e sui 41 metri. Ecco il log. 3955 Nov 6 2112 KBS, via UK, French, reports, very good
