Glad to hear the Philco on the road recovery. Sometimes these little things can throw off the track! Wish you the best on getting General class ticket. I had a lot of fun when I had my tech ticket working the local repeaters during the drive time but having the HF privileges is a whole other world. If you are fortunete to have a bit of ground and can put up a few longwire antennas the world will be at your finger tips. For me the most fun is to take a head full of parts and put them together and make a transmitter or receiver. Put it on the air and enjoy the performance of what you just made.

Now I think I've got!
