Almost all of us have had to get by with what we could afford for most, if not all, of our lives, and most of us still do. I've been a ham since 1955. The first rig I bought new was a Heath Apache in 1958 -- two summer's worth of jobs. The secons was a Ten Tec Omni A in 1980. The third was a K3 in 2008. I've also owned a few new VHF rigs. Every other piece of ham gear I own was used by at least one other ham before me. But it's all "good stuff" -- products of top quality, well engineered. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
