That is one HECK of a first radio!!

If I recall correctly, my first radio was a Megatone 23 channel mobile. I won a Church Raffle with a $1.00 ticket at the age of 10. Only thing I ever won. Cut plenty of neighbors yards and saved for a Radio Shack power supply, a 1/4 wave ground plane and 50' of RG-58U coax. All total in those days I probably had $40.00 invested ( including the $1.00 Church Raffle ticket!) Scrounged about 15' of 1/2" EMT conduit and put the 1/4 wave on it. Had the time of my life for 6 months or so.

Waiting on more memory details for the next radio/trade…………….
