Each to their own

Yesterday, I chanced upon a Facebook page of a radio shack. The guy had all manner of radios and linears. I would  guess there was over $30000 worth of kit. Now, how people spend their money is entirely up to them. 

What I would like to say is I bet I got as much fun from a homemade transceiver that used about £20 worth of parts as he did. I recall the chap in Chicago saying "who is that calling me on CW?".  He was on 15m SSB. DX? About 4000 miles. 

For months that was the only rig I used.
