Wow, Walt.  Those KLM beams were a bear to assemble, though.  A million 
little parts, I think.

There is a guy in our group who has owned a ton of radios.  I think he's had 
thirteen Icom 746's, for example.  I was telling them today I can count the 
number of HF rigs I've owned on two hands.

I started with the Heath GR-91 receiver and a DX-35 65-waqtt crystal 
controlled rig.  I upgraded the receiver to a NC-300, which I kept for 
fifteen years.

When I got my Conditional, I got a Viking Invader which ran about 200 watts 
PEP and 150 on CW, 50 on AM with 6146 finals.

After five years, I got my Hallicrafters SR-400A and in 1976 I got a TS-820, 
which was my fourth transmitter.

In 1981 when I moved out West, I got a TS-830.  Then, in 1986, I traded both 
of them in for an IC-751A, which I still have.  I bought another TS-820S in 
1989 as a backup.  Then, I bought a TS-2000, which is my current rig.  I 
think I still have a couple fingers left, so a dream rig would be a 756PRO 
III.
