There is a psudo"standard" the
Collins CCA rating. I know of
no other group more particular
than the Collins collectors.
Maybe we should "borrow"
their rating system, make changes
where appropriate and publish them
here. What do you think?

Subject: [TenTec] A hypothetic
question
Hello, guys:
I'm an OT with relatively new
introductions to TT, eBay, eHam, and all
the other sales possibilities. I have a new Jupiter, a second hand Scout,
and
a wide assortment going back years and years.
As I new-comer to current marketing of
used equipment, I have been
puzzled by many seller evaluations. "This is a 10." "This is a 9+." "This
one, if it weren't for three chips in the paint on the back side which you
can hardly see, would be a 9 for sure."
My question may seem a bit off the
wall. But does anyone ever
advertise a rig and describe it is a "3," perhaps a "5+," or even a "7-."
Or
are there now only two levels, "10" and "9"? Is it a rig is either a "10"
or
a "9," then "don't ask" and "buyer beware" ? ?
? 8-)
Same things on the RST codes on CW or
SSB. I've noticed numbers of DX
stations hand out "5 9" to all stations, even my tiny peanut, when I
could
barely read them on my rig. They would honestly be a 4 5, but they give
me a 5
9. What gives? Is everything now magnificient or nearly
so? 8-)
