     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!
