Maybe you know someone whos had a bad experience when buying radio gear
online from a private party, and maybe you dont. At QRZ, weve been

On this episode, we remember RadioShack. Once again, the company has filed

conditions? Plus, a listener asks Christian about microphones. Does one
size fit all? Or, is this a trap? All of this an more on this edition of
100 Watts and a Wire.
