They're rare but exist here!) and have my roof tower back up (which includes my Cushcraft A50-5 that I bought 36 years ago at the Framingham fest for $15!) and my re-commissioned HF2V that I bought from a BARS member whom I can no longer remember but who lived on Middlesex Turnpike.). I've got a lot of Drake stuff now but also a K3 with P3 and a 600W amp, when needed. I still have some of my old test equipment.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If ever any of you are travelling through our area, you're more than welcome to stop by and/or stay.
