Yes by all means put it on the air some more! As long as it is not in the way or you don't have to get rid of it, may as well keep it. Unless you really need the space and you like building stations and having fun projects.

For a project, I restored and customized an M35A2 military truck into a communications truck over a 4 year period. Once that piece of 'artwork' was done, it was not very much fun any more, so I sold it and bought a 5-ton M818 and am customizing it now. I never expected to get from it what had been put in it. The fun for me is in the working on the things more than using them.

I have been trying to change my direction on continuing to build, re-build, modify and hardly use. It's time for me to stop and use what I have on the air more often than to be diddling and spending money I no longer have.
