I recently put my Drake R4a back on line.   It was one of the top of the 
line receivers when I bought it in 1967.   One thing I notice is how 
much more crowded the CW bands are.  With the R4a I can tune across the 
band and hear signals about everywhere.   With the K3, the signals are 
still there but there are empty gaps between them, lot of room to 
operated because of the higher selectivity that was probably undreamed 
of 50 years ago.
