Interesting Boatanchor Site

[Jose V. Gavila]

Hello!

Well, my opinion about this, being myself too inclined to amasse large
number of rigs (just check my WEB if in doubt ;-)!) is that having rigs
stacked as he has is NOT a good indication of care for them; you know rigs
get scratched / bent that way. And, of course, you can't access to the ones
in the lower rows if just to check them. And, of course, rigs look mainly
just stored, not used...

In my own collection / shack I _try_ to:

  -Have most rigs in working condition
  -Have most rigs 'easily' accessible
  -Stack a maximum of 2 rows (consequence of former 2 points)
  -Keep units clean
  -Have minimum duplicates
  -Keep wife and children happy :-)
  -...

So when somebody tells he has '13 units of ....' and he has all house
stacked to the ceiling... I would never call that a 'Museum', just a poor
storage facility.
 
Again, just my 2 cents worth!

Regards,

JOSE
