Right. Radio Shack pimps the hot products for the moment. The way I see
it, them not even carrying license manuals speaks volumes about demand for
them. Now, when you walk into a Radio Shack and see loads of HF antennas,
HF rigs, and a shelf of study guides; then you can say that Ham radio is
back in demand.

Radio Shack cannot compete with big discount houses like HRO.

You must be going to the wrong Radio Shacks. I saw stereos and TV's
all over the place when I went in. In theory, Radio Shack should be
in a much better position to sell ham equipment than HRO provided they
could sell it. If you don't believe in economy of scale, look at
Wal-Mart and get back with me.
