CL33 is great little beam. Had one and it worked great. The capacity feed mechanism is balanced and very efficient. Very old design, but one of the best that Mosely built.

I am not as active as I once was, but it may be important again if the chaos progresses.

My favorite radio (have quite few) is my Collin 75S-3/32S-3 Pair. Have had them a very long time, but it is still the Swiss Watch. Many years ago I built a synthesizer to allow general coverage with it. This was my NAVY MARS station for many years.

I live in fly-over country in Central TX, and do not want to be in the city. My family has been in this county since 1886. I moved away for 25 years, but do not plan to move again. No stinking Commie is going to run me off.

Which is exactly why I got into it just over a year ago. Received my Technician's license in February of '08 and upgraded to my General a few months later.

Hate to say that I saw the election of "the one" coming, but I did and as far as I'm concerned Ham Radio will be the one form of communications that they won't be able to stop when they shut down the Internet (or censor it heavily.) We may be the last remaining voices of dissent sometime soon. (And I routinely take to the air and voice my dissent!)

73's, happy field day!
