I really feel sorry for the guys that have trouble with their
wife and their radios.
I read posts from guys saying my wife says "NO RADIOS IN THE HOUSE".
Or only X number of radios in the house...
WOW is it HER house, our both of your's house?
We just passed our 40th anniversary last month, my wife doesn't
love the radios like I do, but she loves me and has said many time
that "Ron wouldn't be Ron without his radios".
My radios were part of my life long before I ever met her, I was late
for our first date because the car was full of radios and I was dirty
from digging around in a basement pulling out parts and such.
I've got nearly well over 500 radios, plus many, many associated
items, plus over 600 tubes in my tube collection on display.
My main display room is a converted 2 car garage that holds the
main radio and tube collection but there are also radios in the
foyer, there's a GE grandfather clock in one corner of the livingroom,
there's a Atwater Kent grandfather clock radio in one corner of the
dining room, there are 4 radios in the den, even one in the kitchen.
I have radios in the next to the biggest of the four bedrooms
upstairs that's my hamshack office plus display space for my vintage
amateur radio collection, my vintage CB radio collection, my
Clough-Brengle test equipment collection. The smallest of the bedrooms
is my library, part of my transistor radio collection, my camera
collection and my Apollo 11 collection.
I've got a detached 2 car garage that's never had a car parked in it
that workshop and parts storage.
I wish every radio guy was a lucky to find someone as I was
with Belinda.
If you'd like to see the collections there are links below
to my web page.

Knee-deep in the cosmic overwhelm, I’m stricken
by the ricochet wonder of it all: the plain
everythingness of everything, in cahoots
with the everythingness of everything else.
