Hi Clete,

I'm 65 and I'm not really acquiring a lot more *stuff*. Just some
inexpensive goodies to play with and getting rid of other *stuff*. Some
things I am keeping until the end - whenever that is. I'm making sure my
family have documents about "all of these parts go with this radio and
all of those parts go with that radio - etc". Maybe the *stuff* will end
up in the land fill or scrapped but there is a possibility it can be
used by somebody else.

I am circling around a club right now and at least some of the much
younger members are interested in the vintage gear. One of their members
saw my modest station and was almost drooling! I'm trying to track down
their club meetings as well as a couple of clubs in different
directions. If there is a void to fill where some of your gear might go
next I'll mention it on some of the lists..including this one.

73,
