Excellent! The grundig I have works well but I haven't opened it up yet. I suspect I should give it a decent cleaning (similar to you) before I use it too much!

I have a grundig from around this time that looks a lot like this. What kind of repairs did you have to do?

“The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” - James Maddison

I agree. I love ham radio but I can sometimes go weeks without doing anything. Then I'll come back to it for a while. Maybe it's some sort of post-purchase rationalization behavior (with how expensive ham equipment can be) that makes people feel they need to do it constantly. Same with golfing.

The cool thing about ham radio is you can utilize digital communication at short and long distances without the use of the internet. This is incredibly useful when trying to communicate more than just the spoken word, such as data and images.

Every other social media app is owned by evil little freaks so this has to be the Big Tent website that welcomes everyone else. People who don't understand jokes. People who know it's a joke but still think it's Harmful. "To be fair," guys. Put up a statue of liberty here but it's on the computer
