Getting away from the flames for a bit, what was the first radio one
used? Lafayette HE20T with a ringo ant. plug in crystals. slid between
21 & 23 to get that extra channel...

lafayette comstat 25 base....1968...........no doubt about
it.......bought it on time from lafayette.......paid $10.00 a
month.....had a call sign too issued by the fcc.....paid $8.00 for
three years i think.......in those days the area where i lived as a
kid was thickly populated with radio antennas.......and a grey 300 was
a big deal..........and the fcc routinely busted people for running
power......
