James, you have no clue what you are missing!
It's a similar experience to driving an old timer car.
You may not be into old timers but a lot of people dearly love them, much
more than your brand new plastic cars.
There is a kind of thrill when making a QSO with a 40 year old Argonaut
running 3 watts.
Or twisting the knobs on an old boat anchor receiver.
I second that motion. Although I recently "upgraded" my Argonaut 509 for
a radio with a better receiver, a Drake TR-7. :-)
(still being brought back to GWO).
