Liberating...

Now in advanced stages of dismantling the ten year-old station.  Only the HF 'rice box' left, and the tower ready for disassembly.  It's very liberating to reduce radio to its most basic elements: power supply of some sort, box, and a wire antenna. 

Even more liberating when you take it away from all the potential or actual RFI problems of a domestic situation, and out into the wild!

Old (dusty) faithful.  Just keeps going and going.
