Ron,

Since I live near the island, I will need to go and visit George and find
out what his K3 plans are. Might even take mine along. Er, maybe the K2
and KX1.

Wow! Thanks Peter. What's a bit 'scary' is noticing how many of those rigs I
recognize!

No.

The proper number of rigs is just one more.

I have my Elecrafts K1 & K2/100, Ten-Tecs Jupiter & Argo V, a Patcomm

too... Right?

Holy Mackerel,

Looks like NASA can have an alternate mission control at W9EVT's QSL.

Thanks for the post!

Good to see you using the right name for them, David. These days
ex-CBers, or those influenced by CB, tend to call rigs and transceivers
"radios". To me a radio is something on which one listens to broadcast
stations.

You are quite obviously a traditional ham - good on you.

My radios have been "radios" since I first got on the air with a
6AG7/6L6 rock-bound CW radio in 1953. CB didn't exist then over here in
the Colonies, so I couldn't have been influenced by it. I have had many
"radios," some transmitted, some received, some did/do both,
occasionally whether or not I wanted them to [see PS below]. ARC-5's,
R-388, BC-348, lots of Heath [currently enjoying a re-birth on this
list], Hallicrafters, RME, Swan, Collins, Kenwood, Yaseu, Drake, and now
an FT-847, K3, K2, KX1, KPA500, P3, IC-4300H [in the truck], and FT-51R
and Kenwood TH-G71 [both going dead because I forget to charge them].
Even the P3 is a "radio" for me, the manual on page 28 refers to it as a
"true SDR receiver."

I have been on 11 meters when it was still a ham band, shared with a
bunch of industrial/medical noisemakers, however I've never had a CB
license [when they still existed] and I've never had a CB radio. It's
called "Amateur 'Radio'," and sometimes, people refer to me as an
Amateur Radio Operator.

Then of course there are the internationally recognized Q Signals:

INT QKB: How many knobs does your *radio* have?
INT QKK: How many of those do you know how to use?

PS: Sometimes, the 6L6 in my first TX got a case of "oscillator envy,"
watching the 6AG7 actually make RF I suppose, which garnered me my first
pink slip from the FCC. I learned after that to recognize when it
wasn't feeling good and tune it a little off frequency.
