SO... now I have to ask... again...

Was it five years back that there was a big flap at the Pentagon?

Some hams raised a big noise about all those 390's, 390a's and assorted
Collins gear that was being destroyed---even had photographs on the web of
hundreds of those rigs strapped together on pallets in the salvage yards
waiting to be crushed. Some fellow, Top Brass, was also a ham and said
that gear was going to turned over to the ham community instead of being
destroyed. What happened to all that stuff? I have yet to see it on the
shelves of surplus dealers.

Maybe it made it's way to Russia or China perhaps.

Naah...
