[Elecraft] K rig's longevity?

[Ken Kopp]

The older one becomes, the less important "new" is.

Can't begin to remember all the radios I've owned during
the earlier part of my 55 years in the hobby.

We traded our 1st VW bug in because it had 22K miles on
it and was "getting old"!  The last one had 226K miles on it.

I remember trying a different wire antenna every few days/weeks,
looking for that magic one that was better than the last.  Took me
years to realize that any apparent differences were most likely
due to how good propagation was on a particular day. (;-)  I've
had my 80M Zepp in the air for at least 30 years ....

My Lady (N7HKW) and I have been married ... to each other ... for
52 years.  She gets all the credit. (:-))
