Dave, have you been to any hamfests to see all the nuts?
Better yet, go to the mall......enough said?
Why does anybody do anything?  I have bought and sold many rigs
over the years because I love them and found one that I've never owned
and traded one for it and found out I rather have another one all 
together.  All in all I've have 4 or 5 of the very same type of rig
several times (all ten tec's)  just because ......I wanted to.
Now I am happy with my Omni V (4 years going now) but also have 
a Delta II, and Argosy II, Titan amp, 238 tuner and all acc...
 ......Hey the right offer come down the road
and ......???  I know guys that have done the same thing with old
cars, guns,  and women.......ask a shrink.....I'm probably as nuts
as the next but hey, I've had a great time with many memories....
