Hello guy's
I have read all of your complaints for the future of our collections.

  I for an example will in the future try to be a program at all the 
local Denver Radio Clubs with my working Command Set display and the 
talk about the "Air Navigation Systems of WWII". I did this at the local 
Club with an astonishing result.
Lot's of questions from the audience. What is a "Dyna-motor" for 
example. This questions came even from Old Timers. The younger attendees 
had most of the questions and I was glad to answer them as best as I 
could. Most had never seen and heard of the radio systems of WWII and 
where glad to the hear about and see it demonstrated. I will try to just 
show this equipment at the Denver Radio Club Ham Fest next month at the 
Jeff-co Fairground.

Maybe this is the way to wake the interest in more of the younger Ham's, 
at least I will try. My Son as well as many of yours has his interest in 
Computers and FM-Radios. That is his Business and Hobby.

I have sold most of my Collection and kept only interesting and rare 
pieces. But falling for the occasional appearing piece of "Boat Anker" 
radio to play with, as well as repairing it and then selling it again to 
make room for another one.

Have nice day and 73
