A pity, *perhaps*: they still did carry one or two items of use to radio
amateurs, and without requiring a long drive or paying more for shipping
than for the item.

Well I for one can understand partly the reason why. It was nigh
impossible to get a Radio Shack catalog in any way shape or form. This was
and is a big part of why we dont use Radio Shack much any longer.
I managed to get one or 2 old catalogs by asking each Radio Shack
if they had old ones under the counter they could give me. This
is why I petitioned "Mouser" for a catalog and they put me on their
list so I should be getting an updated catalog every quarter.
