I dare say that if someone offered me one, I would probably take it, just for the noise and the stink. I would charge admission. Mine had lots of roll paper, paper tape etc,. It worked FB.
I like the digital modes and the weak signal software but its made things too easy, not that I would want to turn back the clock. I would not want to wade through all that again. Just just retired at 62 and I am glad I did. Its nice being in the KMA club. de rudy in kanuckistan ve3bdr From: F.R.

It was heavy, made a lot of noise, smelled great and I should never have gotten rid of it. As for CW, I learned it well enough to pass the exam. I used it only for MS. I suppose I could relearn it. ve3bdr in kanuckistan From: J. Moen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
