Me. I collected for 25 years and NEVER had time to read the mags. Career
and family didn't permit the time. I kept thinking, well when I'm retired I
can read them. Now I'm retired and still don't have the time.

Are you kidding? Who accumulates art and does not look at it. Who
restores automobiles and does not drive them. Who of us who collects
vintage amateur radio equipment does not put it on the air?
I've read them again and again. I read them for historical information,
for a snapshot of what we were building, what we were buying and what we
were doing to the air. I've read the warm stories of J.C. Flippin and
those curmudgeonly epistles from The Old Man.
What in the world did you think I used them for?
