We were debt free since i saw the economy go into a freefall
That was when Leeson took out the Baringsbank, and it was clear the safeguards were off the banks to prevent this.

Just bought a new FT 847 out of the box from the shelves of an shop closing down, latest model, never used, for a low price
So, now 2 x the FT847, a FT 100 mobile transciever , the SB-1000 all restored to new with new 3-500ZG.

With the rest of the gear, i'm set for the next 10+ years.
As for the guns, i have 4 and do reload

YES! I peaked in this hobby about 2001 / 02, back then I had a Icom pro2 and a Yeasu ft-1000 mk5. Today I have a 15 year old Icom 728 !

I just checked my local HRO, the economy has not affected the hobby as much as I though it would.

I've sold most of the equipment I don't use much. I'm keeping all the stuff I know I would regret selling and would have to buy again. I sold one of my Kenwood TS850's that I hated to see go, but realized I only need one. Most of my extra mics that I didn't use often are gone too.
