Almost all of us have had to get by with what we could afford for 
most, if not all, of our lives, and most of us still do. I've been 
a ham since 1955. The first rig I bought new was a Heath Apache in 
1958 -- two summer's worth of jobs. The secons was a Ten Tec Omni A 
in 1980. The third was a K3 in 2008. I've also owned a few new VHF 
rigs. Every other piece of ham gear I own was used by at least one 
other ham before me. But it's all "good stuff" -- products of top 
quality, well engineered.
