Some of us do!
I don't think I'll ever part with my Drake "drift-0-matic" TR-7.
I've only had the set for just over 20 years.
Been using a Kenwood 440-SAT for just over 10 and it's a GREAT rig also!

From the ARRL Letter, October 17, 2003

The FCC says an Indiana amateur has agreed to relinquish his Amateur
Radio
operator license for two years as a result of allegations that he
interfered with local police department radio transmissions. FCC
Special
Counsel Riley Hollingsworth outlined the terms of the agreement in a
September 23 letter to Technician licensee Justin L. Whaley, KC9DCP,
of
Columbia City. According to the letter, the FCC notified Whaley last
March
that close-proximity direction finding evidence indicated that the
licensee had interfered with the operation of the Columbia City Police
Department radio system early this year.

The agreement--which Whaley had not yet signed as of this week--calls
on
him to resolve the enforcement issues he faces by relinquishing his
Amateur Radio operator license for two years. Whaley also must agree
not
to maintain an amateur station nor to use anyone else's station.
Hollingsworth said that since Whaley shut down his station last March
28,
the agreement would remain in effect until March 28, 2005.
Hollingsworth
requested that Whaley sign the letter and return it to the FCC along
with
his Amateur Radio license.

The FCC meanwhile is seeking additional information from three other
licensees who allegedly used ham gear to transmit on police or
emergency
frequencies.

Hollingsworth wrote General-class licensee Tom L. Christman, KB2NAV,
of
Albany, New York, on September 22 regarding a complaint from the
Albany
County Sheriff's Department's Office of Professional Standards. The
FCC
asked Christman, a sheriff's department maintenance worker, to respond
to
allegations that he used his ham radio transceiver to make
transmissions
on sheriff's department frequencies last December "without a
legitimate
purpose." The sheriff's department has requested that the FCC suspend
or
revoke Christman's amateur license.

Hollingsworth also wrote two North Carolina Technician-class
amateurs--Daniel E. Buchanan, KF4LNE, of Montreat, and Joseph S.
"Shannon"
Hutchins, KG4SXD, of Swannanoa--concerning complaints from the Black
Mountain Police Department alleging that both had transmitted on
police
frequencies last February. The transmissions apparently were made
using a
handheld transceiver while Buchanan and Hutchins were in the same
vehicle.

Documents from the Asheville/Buncombe County District Attorney's
Office
assert that the Black Mountain police channel had experienced
"numerous
transmissions" earlier this year on a police frequency (156.01 MHz)
"including verbal profanity and racial slurs." A police officer who
questioned Buchanan and Hutchins said they admitted transmitting on
police
frequencies. They later voluntarily signed statements to that effect
in
which each blamed the other for making the racial slur.

The District Attorney's Office statement said that one transmission
last
February 8, while police were attempting to respond to an auto
accident
involving multiple injuries, "prevented officers from communication
with
dispatch or each other."
Hollingsworth this month also heard from amateurs in the Los Angeles
area
that some repeater owners are shutting down their machines due to
alleged
ongoing interference from Jack Gerritsen, formerly KG6IRO. The FCC
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau set aside Gerritsen's license in
2001 a
few days after granting it after learning that he'd been convicted the
previous year on state charges of interfering with Los Angeles Police
Department radio transmissions.

Imprisoned, paroled and imprisoned again after breaking parole for
allegedly having and operating radio equipment without a license,
Gerritsen was released early due to jail overcrowding.

Hollingsworth said the FCC continues to work the case, but he
expressed
frustration that Gerritsen was let out of prison again with no
conditions
or restrictions "even regarding radio, which is what he was in there
for
in the first place."
