After listening to you for the last several weeks talk about the virtures of the Drake 2B I began a never ending drooling for that radio. I never really understood the power of a podcast until I became obsessed with the 2B. I had seen several at Dayton a couple of weeks ago but resisted the urge. But today was the day…At a hamfest in Princeton Ill, there was a lone 2B and 2BQ all dressed up and looking for a place to go. Into my waiting arms that radio jumped. I tried but could not put it down. I got my wallet it out and paid the man. On the drive home I could hear the 2B making noises like it was tuning the band just for me. Oh how happy that 2B is now. With a little cleanup and a new tube and crystal it will be backing doing what it does best.<\/span>

Just wanted you to know Bill that if it was not for you there would be a 2B waiting and wanting to be adopted..<\/span>

Love your podcast, keep it up man.<\/span>

I am also happy to report that I have finally laid my hands on my very own Drake 2B. I have been watching them on ebay for over a year, and I finally spotted one with a reasonable “buy it now” price, so I jumped on it. As you know, many 2Bs suffer from discoloration and corrosion of the copper plated chassis, but the one I bought is pristine. I am very pleased.<\/span>
