Seven Years Ago Today

Dave K8MN I have an ARX2B like that. When it does get opened, it will be as if new. And rest assured, I can open it at any time. |

The empty boast has yet to be fulfilled. Dave K8MN I have an ARX2B like that. Great. Did you boast that you were going to open it seven years ago? Why no, Dave. I boasted that I was going to purchase it seven years ago. When it does get opened, it will be as if new. Maybe it will be; maybe it won't be. You won't know for certain until you open it. Why wouldn't it be perfect? It's never been opened, and the box is intact. Is the World's Greatest DXer suggesting that Cushcraft products are defective or have poor quality control? And rest assured, I can open it at any time. Len is in his eighth decade of life. Then he would be perfect as a new ham. He could even apply through the Vanity Call System and get an old-timey callsign so people would think he was an old hand at this amateur stuff... There are limits on his ability to open the box containing his Extra Class license. Perhaps Handi-Hams could lend a box-cutter. He hasn't even paid for it with CASH yet. Extra licenses for sale? Would that be through the ARRL VEC or the W5YI VEC? |

Not going to happen, IMHO. |

Best of Luck. |

He KNOWS, Brian, He KNOWS...now watch a whole new sub-thread evolve from that...dozens of posts wherein Jimmie NOserve will "show" that YOU are at fault and he is absolutely, totally blameless. :-) Is the World's Greatest DXer suggesting that Cushcraft products are defective or have poor quality control? Did Cushcraft use only coax with a noncontaminating jacket? Did they? Tsk. Jimmie NOT know?!? Why he ask question instead of stating reply as his fact? And rest assured, I can open it at any time. Len is in his eighth decade of life. As I said before, it's just my FIRST CENTURY. :-) Then he would be perfect as a new ham. He could even apply through the Vanity Call System and get an old-timey callsign so people would think he was an old hand at this amateur stuff... That would require opening the box first. Not going to happen, IMHO. Your opinion is not humble. Besides, Len just might surprise you. Then again, I might not. :-) Instead of your Federal Register Watch, you might query the FCC data base each day for Len's new callsign. Best of Luck. "New callsign?" Which one of my old callsigns is changing? WRRR? WREX? WMCW? WBEL? KFAC? KMPC? As far as I know WRRR went out of business. All the others are chugging right along, though. [WRRR was a difficult ID to say during station breaks...:-) ] But, I digress. All must remember that engine-ear Jimmie done made a "pronouncement" on a "deteriorating" Cushcraft product. It no good if Jimmie done say it is...and that's that! :-) LA |
