Sorry - can't resist (with all due respect to you) ---- No need to
upgrade the Drake R8 series? Evidently DRAKE thought they needed
upgrading! ;-)
Not upgrades really, more like simple enhancements. They all hear equally well.
Get back to me when you have more than a hundred or so thrown out QSL's.
Sorry again.
Dear "dxAce,"
If only I'd known then what I know now --- one of the saddest phrases
in the English language. At the very least I could have donated the
QSLs and the memorabilia to The Committee to Preserve Radio
Verifications, though I do not believe any such repository existed at
that time.
Since that time, though I have continued to listen to shortwave radio,
it is more as a program listener than as an active DXer. While I do
search for exotic signals on occasion, I never ask for QSLs any more,
even when I write to a station. I guess the "desire" was tossed away,
along with my QSLs, by my ex-wife (though, of course, I should not and
do not place all the blame on her).
Back to the ICOM - do you think truly that ANY communications receiver
can really be worth $13,500.00?
No.
