Well rigs without knobs are no rigs in my book.
So that chucks another couple of radios out the window!
Hooray for Ten-Tec and Elecraft.
And Kenwood is making its comeback too.
Yaesu too.
The Icom engineers are still smoking something!
However if we listen to Rob, which we should, his NO. 1 criteria for buying
and using a radio is "you gotta enjoy using the radio".
In which case, I'm sure Icom is back in the game.
So much for lists!

I WAS JUST SHOWING MY WIFE THE SHERWOOD LIST...
My young bride, Susan takes a real interest, and shares the pleasure of
owning, the equipment in the shack. While she does not want a license, she
does enjoy taking part in decisions that affect our holdings. For example,
I recently purchased a Jupiter for a low bid, intending to merely spark
interest in a rig offered for sale by the son of a local SK, and ended up
buying it ... but Susan convinced me I should keep it and enjoy it, instead
of reselling it. Yeah... she is a keeper.
Looking at the Sherwood list, she mentioned we own two of the top twelve
rigs, and suggested it is really better than that because we should
disregard the Perseus entry as it is just a receiver, and disregard the
Hilberling rig because it is just too dad blamed expensive for nearly anyone
to buy (at least until they make another million...) so that
means we own two of the top ten. ;-)
She said it was nice to see Ten-Tec makes 4 of the top 10 rigs on the list.
(4 of the top 8 if you disregard the Hilberling and Persues entries as per
her previous comment.)
As we have harbor no animosity for the other brands, we find it significant
9 OF THE TOP 13 RIGS ON THE LIST ARE AMERICAN MADE.
Yeah... baby. In a difficult world economy, that looks pretty good to
us.
And I thought the QST review of the Argonaut VI sounded pretty positive,
too.
Yeah... just a few reasons to feel good today.
