[Elecraft] Collins' experience

[Charles Harpole]

And the S-Line became the benchmark for all hams to aspire to own... I 
finally owned 3 sets for a few months and kept a 75-S3B, and two KWM-2A.  
Today, I was caressing them, but only with appropriate intimacy as they 
deserve.

Milestones for HF ham rigs (from 1957 onward):
NC-300
anything Viking
Globe King
SX-101 (with heating resistor)
Drake 1A and 2B and TR-3/4
Drake C-Line (with Sherwood mods, look at where Sherwood ranks such a R-4C 
even now)
FT-1 (or was it the 901DM?) and maybe the TS-930
FT-1000D
MP
IC-706 (I said "milestones" meaning in utility and popularity, too)
ORIONs (if only people would buy one)
and now the K3.

....  "for the love of ham radio"   73
