[ARC5] New Homes for Old Warriors

[DSP3]

Hmmmm,

My experiences coincide with not a few, here. Although not radio, per 
se, they were private, corporate, and government historic aviation 
activities.  Top down, the Government museums have the best 
accountability.  If one donates, the item(s) is/are documented and 
cataloged.  They may very well not be used for a while but they are 
generally safe in their supply system.  E.g.: the USAF Air Mobility 
Command museum at Dover AFB. The "corporate" museums are a different 
story, I found.  Some are excellent and ask only for what they really 
need.  Much of what I have seen fit to donate was to fill a hole in some 
display, either identified by me as a casual observer or via their 
general requests.  However, a lot of material is simply accepted (read: 
vacuumed up en mass), stored, and maybe used or canned at some point. 
Or, some nondescript "volunteer" simply took an item for their own use.  
Private museums, I simply chose not to recognize as I have no affinity 
nor knowledge of them.  If I want to give stuff away, I'll give it to 
those I know (of).  That said, it is gratifying to see some artifact one 
has donated on display, truly.
