Restoring BA gear.  Very active in contesting/Dxing also;

> And last but not least, any comments!
Restoring BA gear and running AM makes me appreciate the level of
technology available in the new generation of Yaewoodcom radios;
Using the Yaewoodcom radios for contesting / DXing makes me appreciate
running tube gear;  it provide a unique perspective that new
"pushbutton auto-everything" hams can't get, or won't attempt.  Runing
tube gear one develops the skill of radio repair and electronic
problem solving;  that's not there with the Yaewoodcom only crowd.
