[Boatanchors] Reality Comes Knocking.

[Rob Atkinson]

I was visiting a ham in Springboro when I was there for the Dayton
Hamvention in 2009 and he had A line gear.  I was looking at his 75A-4
and thought "I have to get one of these."  I was operating AM but not
with tube gear.  That ham's A-4 gave me the disease.

I had an FT-DX3000D, I sold it and bought an R390A with a Central Electronics 200V to go with it and couldn't be happier. Of course the rabbit hole went deep and I now have two R-390A's, an R-391, two 75A-4's, two 75A-1's, a Central Electronics 100V, a KWM-2A with a 30L-1 to match. Along with two Kenwood TS-830S' and a TS-820S. The 75A-4 was the one that got me hooked on all tube rigs.
