Indeed, that "young woman" could be 70-80 years old today. However, the dress, hair style, and style of high heels, suggests the picture was taken in the 70's, which means she may only be 40-50 years old. :-) Universal is a couple miles from my home. I've bought small items from them, but have never ordered by mail any radio, so did not comment on topic. But as far as the slender blond with the high heels goes, I've seen her there and she's one of the hottest ladies in amateur radio, but I don't think she has a license. She's probably in her 40's. That would be Barb Osterman... She is KC8VWI Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B Ham Radio sure is busting out all over! What is the Djibouti card on your site? bb |

I was fortunate (or was it unfortunate) enough to visit Djibouti in 1979. Quite the experience. No, I didn't hear them on SW then, but I did hear them on MW. bb |
they are very good on returns, my friend bought a used antenna from
them, sent it back and they did not charge him a restocking fee. there is one dealer www.radios4you.com /(electronic-specialties on eBay) that does not give refunds under most situations. from their website: 5. All Sales Final. Sorry we do not offer a satisfaction warranty and do not accept returns. Reasonable attempts will be made to provide an upgrade solution if requested and the original product is returned in new condition. A 25% restocking fee will be deducted for returns without explicit e-mail approval.

My reason for asking is they seem to never ship on time and always have to back order, sometimes taking 30 days or more to back order. Rusty in Louisville |

Yep, as noted above, I guessed she was somewhere in her 40's. Have you seen the gal in the Burghart advertisements? Wow! No, I haven't. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it. 8-) Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |

Is this her? If so, you're right! http://www.universal-radio.com/tour1.html http://www.universal-radio.com/tour2.html It's hard to tell if the picture in the catalog and the pictures on the web site are of the same woman. None of the pictures are close-ups of the face. Regardless, the woman on the web site certainly does fill out that top very nicely. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |

Michael Moore wrote: LOL. That picture was her about 20-30 years ago. No, it's not... those pictures are of much more recent vintage than 20-30 years ago... guaranteed. I think Michael was talking about the picture in the catalog (as 20-30 years ago), not the pictures on the web site. The woman in the catalog is much younger looking - perhaps the same woman, but an older picture of her. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |

I too have had slow response insofar as when my item leaves their facility. Takes a week or more from when the order is placed. I also have experienced the back order phenomenon on numerous occasions. |
