Re: [Drakelist] Value of a Drake Rig
Lee, and others You are embarrassing me! The contractors are already here, widening the doors so I can get my head through them again! I guess I am a Luddite in more ways than one. I believe Ham Radio is about learning, and sharing knowledge. I have a distinct advantage over most 'normal' people, in that I have been a Ham for 53+ years, and been using and working on Drake gear since the beginning. You don't have to be particularly smart to pick up quite a bit about a subject in 50 years!! Especially one that you love doing.. Bottom line, I really love doing this. I can't haul the stuff around like I used to, and packing and shipping is a nightmare for me, so I don't work on any stuff other than my own, which is plenty to keep me busy! I enjoy the challenge of figuring out where the problem is, and I get to use others arms, legs and eyes for searching it out. So thank you all for the kind words, and know that I enjoy every minute of it! One more request. Use 'REPLY ALL' when using the list for troubleshooting and technical exchanges. This list and the archives provided so faithfully by Thom are a treasure trove of Drake information compiled by MANY, and should be used to the fullest. Don't be shy about suggesting possible 'fixes' for these things based on YOUR experience. Diagnosing these troubles from a distance, via text, is a challenge at best. While you may not always be right, every little bit of information or symptom could be the KEY to getting a radio up and running again. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs www.k4oah.com LEE BAHR wrote: I know I am not alone when I say the value of Drake radios today has something to do with the great advice Garey Barrell always gives freely to many needing help with their Drake radios.

Re: [Drakelist] Value of a Drake Rig
Hi all, I'll throw in my thanks here also. He's helped me more times than I can count, many of them before he got really noticed on the list(s). We've sat together talked a few times, and I'm looking forward to the time when we can again. 73 thanks Garey, Al, W8UT www.boatanchors.org www.hammarlund.info There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats Ratty, to Mole On 8/1/2010 7:19 PM, Don Cunningham wrote: Well said, Lee.
