Hilberling PT-8000A and linear bundle from MLS
Add on a tower and beam you would be talking about £20000! Not my idea of amateur radio. Each to their own.
If I was paying that, I would expect the buttons and knobs to be solid gold. Mind you, if you were a rich sheik I expect you can ask for that for a few thousands more!
The basic design is about 12 years old. You place the order and wait for it to be hand-built.

Life in outer space? - NOT amateur radio
Scientists say they have found the strongest evidence yet that there is life on other planets. They have found 2 molecules that are signatures of life. This planet is 124 light years away, so a visit is unlikely!
I guess intelligent life is far less common. However, this discovery, if confirmed, makes finding intelligent life "out there" more likely. I am sure if we found other planets with intelligent life it could have a profound effect.

Anglesey Abbey this morning - NOT amateur radio
This is quite near us and a lovely place to walk around at any time of the year.
