   EV>The S-38 receiver my friend who introduced me to SW Radio was a D model.   
      
   EV>The S-38D had two D shaped windows, a reversed D and a D side by side.   
      
   EV>The S-38E that I got had the Sliderule style dial.

   projects. A 30 foot pole on one of my house and a 30 foot pole tired to   
   the Freeway Fence 100 feet away for the G5RV and a 15 foot pole on   
   the back of the house for a Comet 6 meter vertical.
