Oh yeah, he has indicated to me that he currently has a Drake R8B and
two
R75's.

So I wonder if he ever actually disposed of the Drake, or whether that
was
yet more of
Edweenies BS?

I gave away the Drake I had in LA, keeping the Ten Tec in Prescott and
the
R-75 in the Desert. I added a newer R8B later, as I got the bug for DXing
Mexican AMs again. I also gave away an NRD 525 to an NRC member who was
retired and needed a good radio.

Hey, I'm retired and I need another good radio or two. Why don't you send
me
that R8B and the Ten-Tec? After all, you don't use them very much.

The person I gave the 525 to had a long history of serving the NRC, as an
editor, contributor and fine DXer. He prepared the most extensive list of
Mexican AMs known, and was in radio and print as a professional all his
life. Unlike you, he deserved the radio.
