My first QRP rig back in 1972 was a second-hand Argo 505, which I still have 
and use. I couldn't believe it, after having run a pair of 4-400's for years, 
and rarely less than 100 watts. (licensed in 1958). I worked a bunch of DX on 
QRP SSB with that rig, even before I got the CW bug back.

Now also have an Argo 515 and an Argo II (which is a SUPER rig!), besides the 
usual assortment any upright QRPers has (K2, K1, SG2020, FT-817, PC-9000, 
NC40, SSTs, etc, etc.) I am looking forward to adding the new Argonaut III. 
(Whatever they name it, it will always be an Argonaut, in my mind).
