I know the feeling John...that's why i mainly use my C line , my Geloso line and used to listen through with my Hammarlund Sp-600 . I do have modern rigs but ..knobs and switches is lots of fun and yes, they perform very nice, still !
Enjoy your "old lads" ! '73 de Adrian iz3svi ----- Messaggio Originale ----- Da: "John King" A:"Drakelist@zerobeat.net" Cc: Inviato:Thu, 6 Feb 2014 21:14:57 -0800 (PST) Oggetto:[Drakelist] My T4XCand R4C fired up Today, I fired up my T4XC and R4C and checked into a net with them. All of my Drakes have been roosting for several years and I have displayed them all on new shelves on one side of my shack. After those years of resting, they performed well and I got an S9 plus 20DB signal report barefoot on 75 meters from several hundred miles away. Made me fall in LOVE all over again!!! Tomorrow, I will fire up my TR3 and maybe my R4 and T4X . Makes me feel a warm glow when my beautiful old gals do their thing. Just had to tell someone!! 73, John, K5PGW
