"He covets. That is his nature.

And how do we begin to covet?

Do we seek out things to covet?

Make an effort to answer now. "

Jim, believe me, I think choosing a Valiant for my first tube transmitter with zero troubleshooting experience was one of my more hairbrained decisions. Call me crazy.

Buying a Valiant as Jim can attest to was the best thing I ever did. I sure learned a lot about tube transmitters and troubleshooting them, fixing them, cussing them.......
Really all you have to do is rebuild the darn thing into what you want.

Sometimes I regret not having a family, but on the other hand, a little extra boot for electronics over the years has been good for me. I could never say I'm on the road to perdition!
