Default Amateur Radio now officially DEAD at Radio Shack

Radio shack has been officially dead for years as far as I'm
concerned, all they do is sell phones, toys and Sat set ups.


I buy components there all the time. Granted, they are not my
one-stop-shopping place, nor are they the first place I go to,
but when I'm in a pinch and need something now then they often
have very simple, common components (an opamp, led, connector,
pot, etc.)

- but you can get your NASCAR scanner, belt accessories and headphones!
(and a cellphone and satellite TV service)

whoo hoo!

:P
