    A couple more real quick... I have a couple of hundred pictures to go through, there was all sorts of great stuff in the flea market (I drooled over that near-mint SX-117, but alas, $400 for rear brakes and rear springs takes precedence over a toy) :

    The new Ten-Tec Argonaut VI, although the debut is now pushed back to the fall. The companion new Model 418 linear was there as well, for some reason that photo won't upload (might need to be resized)

    Hmmm. These two look vaguely familiar... 7598.jpg

    Fall you say. Hum, perfect. I have a cash stash aside from shack liquidation. When that comes out I may go with that for QRP and get the 100w K3 rather than the 10w. ..Maybe. I really have an urge to go all QRP.

    Do the K3. And here's why: You can always crank the power down to 10 W or less. Going the other way can be a LOT tougher!

    Oh, I intend to get a K3. I was just thinking that getting that to sit beside it would be nice as well.

    Hum, been doing some thinking. I may go with a K3/10 for CW and SSB desk top QRP and an Omni VII for casual ragchew. Throw the new ten-tec into the mix when it comes out.

    Or you could get the new Ten Tec 418 linear when it comes out, which should be soon. 10 in, 100 out. And (they say) it will work on any 10 W piece of amateur gear.

    Sometimes I'm so glad I'm able to do my own auto work.

    Me too. It helps that I oversaw the assembly of my car too (not my particular car, well, its possible). In fact, before I was promoted I assembled the front cradle of my car, did the welding, assembled radiators, etc. Its nice knowing your car inside and out.
