Peter. WOW. that sure don't sound like Paul. i have known Paul, from the
time he still worked at Drake.
That's what I'd heard. Which is why it was such a surprise.
most of the Palstars and antennas, on
ebay, are sold by his son, who runs a kind of Palstar store on ebay. at
least he used too.
This wasn't an e-Bay seller. He was an individual known for his sales
and trades of used radios in the newsgroup, and he was offering the
Palstars directly in the newsgroup. He was specific about making the
point these were new radios, and he was offering full factory warranty.
The discount was nearly 30%, and Palstar wasn't known for that kind of
price cut. Which is what triggered the red flag for me. So, I went to
Palstar for direct information.
i have the R30CC here. super little bare bones
receiver. when the weather is nice i take it, my Ed-loop, a jumpstart,
and a large coffee to my favorite park. makes a nice morning. and some
good back round for the days paper.
That's a cool start to the day. There was a member of the newsgroup who
used to drive between Denver and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, who took his
SW-2 with him. He'd stop along the road and hook it up to the guardrail
and do some serious pseudo-Beverage work before breakfast in Jackson
Hole.
Good times.
Peter. that is so cool. i love the sw-2, and the 8. just read in MT-Jan.
issue, about using anything metal around the house for an antenna.
"back-in-the-day", 60's, locals use to brag about the
famous bed-spring antenna. i knew a guy who talked all around the
world on a barb wire fence. a guardrail, that's just so cool.
Best of the New Year to you.
Drifter...
And you.
