In a world where only the latest equipment *must* be the best, it's nice to see older equipment in use. Out of my radio equipment, I have a transceiver that is used almost daily which according to it's original sales receipt makes it 32 years old and a receiver that still works perfectly and is very sensitive that was built in the middle part of WW2. Real quality doesn't become obsolescent overnight. My MX and LX aren't exactly new either. Malcolm
