[Soapbox mode on] I disagree with this emphatically. The bulk of the ham radio and antique radio collecting community is entering their twilight years. The next 15 years are going to see the market flooded with sellers. The question is will new buyers enter the market in enough numbers to maintain or increase prices. I think not. The internet is king. Radio is going digital. amateur use of radio spectrum is under constant attack so bandwidth issues are becoming more contentious. And the old hobby culture of America is fading fast. I think every hobby is feeling it. The nasty part of what is about to happen is that a lot of people will all be trying to dispose of their stuff at once so they can retire to Florida. I just don't see increasing values for boatanchors in that picture. [soapbox mode off] 73, Don Merz, N3RHT
