Default What's A Boat Anchor (Classic)

I like the term "classic". It certainly describes the equipment more
accurately and adds a touch of dignity... unlike the term B/A!! Hi!!

My first connection with the term-in-question would have been in 1959.
Having just traded a WRL DSB-100 double-sideband rig even for a
BC-610E/BC-614/JB-70 from an AF Sgt, just returning from Guam, my local
(sage)ham radio dealer informed me that "Nobody uses those old
boatanchors, anymore!" Sounds like he picked up on that CQ mag article,
maybe?

IMOHO, if it don't keep you warm on a long winters night it ain't a
boatanchor.
