    Back in the 90s, I had over 100 radios - a great many of which were able to go on
    the air with the flip of a switch (16 transmitters paired with 16 receivers, on a computer
    controlled TR switch that could switch any pair I wanted).

    But my all-time favorites were the Drake B and C lineups. Wish I had kept one or two.

    If you click on my "site" link, then go to the 1996 shack page, you can see many of
    those radios as they once sat in my old shack.

    That's a MOUNTAIN of radios, Dave. I can think of someone who may have you beat, BION. I'm sure you get the random idiot or two that still asks if any of those rigs are for sale.

    BTW, thanks for making me feel old. I graduated from high school in 1976..., licensed in 1983.

    Ever since I can remember, being a mostly-CW ham operator, from my Novice days through my General days and especially into my Extra days—I’ve hated having the letter “K” as the last letter of my call sign. Why? you ask?
    My first call ended in "XE". Real confusing when working Mexico.

    I have almost every Ham radio ever made, up to the 70s era. Am making arrangements now to put it all neatly into one nice new building. almost all have been fully restored and are in perfect working condition.

    Get a new car and an exterminator, and all is good. Stay out of Hiram's in El Cajon.

    That is all.

    The comment was meant as more of an "I'll show you!" challenge of engineering inspiration...but seeing that you're doing requests I'll take take the turkey and smashed potatoes; gravy on both, please. Oh, and a nice glass of Imperial Stout too. ;)
