I would prefer that everyone stay here with this list, and just delete things
you're not interested in or offended by.

Ok, one last comment and I’ll shut up. Regardless of how you feel about the

cost. Whether I did it myself or not, I cannot justify putting that kind of
money into a radio that’s 30 plus years old. I have had a couple
This is a perfect opportunity to exercise my right to remain silent. But, as
usual, I will foolishly waive that right.
As many of you know, engineers may set out in the beginning to build the best

I understand what you are saying... I too am one that prefers to keep 'vintage' gear, Drake or
otherwise, as it was! The quirks and shortcomings of these radios is 'who they are', and modifying
them changes them from 'vintage' to 'just another radio'.

Ouch, that one hurt, Garey. I would hope that not everyone agrees a modified Drake can no longer
be pristine.

Hi Guys,
I was tuning around on 15 meter CW this morning and I had my Ipad handy,
so I made another video. (Oh no, not another one).
This one is shorter. With all the recent discussion of the Sherwood mods
I demonstrated the 600hz cw filter somewhat.

Finally a fair and balanced comment by W5XU. If Mr. Robert Drake and Mr. Art Collins were with us today, I believe they would welcome Mr. Rob Sherwood's Mods. It seems both of them always tried to improve their radios, and more than likely would have come up with some if not all of the
