Until I was introduced to these reflectorsand bring,  what I missed most =
about Ham radio was  Tubes and experimenting.   I install, repair, retofi=
t and trouble shoot microprocessors and chaa\hanve everyday and it would =
be the last damn thing I'd want to play with on weekends.  Slow down folk=
s, because right now, I'm getting slammed by the Southeast Asia, micorpro=
cessing group of Hams, that think I should have gone  down with the Titan=
ic  I didn't even get from Novice to General, before the local club had a=
 club project of knocking of a HA-10.  It worked well and I wish Iad it t=
o this day.  When we sit down and accept that fact that we all have our p=
references.   Take care and may God lell you all..

Interesting opinions Bill but, or course, only opinions.  That's one of t=

I have Drake and Collins gear in excellent condition that is close enough=
 to
original to call "restored."  I have Drake and Collins gear I have update=

with modern components such as caps.  And I have Drake and Collins gear I
chose to significantly modify, usually for improved cw performance.  In a=

cases, the way I chose to handle the equipment was exactly right for me a=
nd
my hobby interests.

Restore, modify, repair, leave original........whatever.  It's a hobby an=

we'll all tinker as we will.
