Hey! I resemble that remark! Actually, operation with old tube
gear is one of the "growth" areas of Ham Radio. Almost all my
operation for the past 12 years has been tube based stuff I've
either built myself or restored. My "modern" transceiver
serves as a dandy frequency counter/signal generator though!
