[ARC5] Managing Yiour Colection, WAS Item 300447369243

[John Watkins]

Hi All,

I have been planning to "thin the herd" for a couple of years as soon as I get back to Texas for good.  I don't have a huge collection, but I definitely have some stuff I will never get to.  

My point is that even if you don't have a warehouse full of stuff, why not take a good hard look at what you do have and reduce it to a manageable size.  After all, if you aren't going to be able to "get to it"  why not let some one else put it to use.  I currently have an excess of receivers 2 RF 550s, and R-390A, a R-1051 my Kenwood TS-930 (receiver is general coverage)US-9 (Russian BC-348)+ others etc.  I can't listen to all at once and will be getting rid of some next year (if'n the creek don't rise.  Also have other stuff (all treasures)that will be getting a hard look.

Cheers,

John  WD5ENU/A45XV
