Yeah, you're right. But in 30 years of amateur radio, I'm afraid my  
list is rather short:

Heathkit GR-81 (SWL)
Heathkit HR-10B
Heathkit SB-301 / SB-401 (used)
Heathkit DX-40 / VF-1 (Loaner)
Yaesu FT-101EE (Loaner)
Heathkit DX-60 w/ homebrew VFO (Loaner)
Kenwood TS-430S
Elecraft K2/100

This doesn't count the couple of rigs I built that I never quite made  
a contact with, or all the different rigs I've used at NQ4I or W4WA  
multi-op efforts.

I really love my K2. It has some shortcomings, yes. I still have my  
Ts-430S (20 years old now), but may replace it with a second K2 here  
in a few years.
