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 ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
