    Hi,
    in my opinion Ham Radio should be about learning, life should be about that. The question is: what did you learn by buying thousands of dollars worth of ready made equipment?
    Not much more than by buying a new huge TV I believe. Toy buying doesn't pay in the long run, you'll always want the newest gadget. Like you said, you had to sell a TS-990
    to buy these new radios.
    If Ham Radio is your hobby, start creating something yourself, even a monoband QRP receiver with modest performance is infinitely more interesting than a flashy toy that
    will stay a mystery as far as how it works...
    I also bought and sold several used radios in the past, but after a while it gets old and you realize all radios are basically similar and you'll learn something just when you
    buy faulty old radios that you have to fix yourself.

    I refrained from purchasing an Icon IC 9700 due to if the French get their way we will lose 2 meters and 23 cms as Amateur Radio Bands.

    Paschal, You sold a truck load of wonderful equipment in order to buy another truck load of outstanding equipment.

    I am impressed with your station. It is neat, clean, powerful and impressive.

    I have been to Quebec. I love the province and your fellow Canadians. People from Quebec are warm, friendly and very special to me.

    I was married to a French Canadian for about 15 years. Unfortunately, cancer took her away.

    I lived in Canada for a year and absolutely loved it there. The winter was especially nice. I very much like the snow.

    I enjoy your posts. You are a valuable member of the ham radio community. Keep up the good work.
