Every year at Gilbert I manage
to pick up a radio project, I wanted a project, the longer I waited I
got softer and searched and waited but found nothing on Thursday which
is usually the best flea market day. And then when I came back Thursday
evening it was waiting for me, delivered to my spot, just like room service
, Jeff KG2BZ and Emido WA2FSX had dropped this off. A Federal Signal Life
Boat Emergency Radio for 500 Kcs.
I will miss you Emido.
Charlie keeps an eye on my display.
