What was interesting/odd was a near complete absence of Drake gear. There may have been a set of twins, that was all I saw.

I think I could have resisted *most* of it, because I have a 'rule' of ...

"Sell what I haven't used in a year to buy what I'm more likely to use."

I saw, in the pictures, many rigs that I've previously owned, then sold.

I saw many others that look interesting, but I know I'd only admire them

for the design and engineering, but not ever find time to actually use

them - especially the AM/CW only rigs.

A compact tube-type DSB HF rig might have followed me home ... :-)
