Default FYI: Radio Schack to close up to 700 stores

Interesting to hear all these comments about a company the US government has
provided valuable assistance from. While stationed overseas in Belgium, I
worked as a radio operator. One of the radio's we used was a Collins KWM2-A
transciever and it blew a tube and resistor on a vital communications link.
Within 15 minutes, a new one was acquired at a local Tandy store and up and
running. Our maintenance chief owes his Air Force Commendation Medal and a
great deal of thanks to them.
