Hi Guys,

Just in regard to your comments, I must say when I used to live in the
States many years ago, I would often be a regular visitor to the good
ol' local Radio Shack store. It would be sort of a Saturday morning
ritual for me when my then-wife and I were out and about running
errands. While she was at the drugstore getting a few bits and pieces,
I would make my way across the sidewalk to the 'shack' to peruse all
the neat little gadgets available at the time. It would sometimes take
my wife literally hours to drag my keister outta that store to go home
heh. I wonder if that had anything to do with her now being my
ex?!

Kind regards,
BK G6

Are you a child? Real men hang out at HRO or the TRW Swap Meet, not
friggin' Radio Shack.

Down here it's the Santee Swap meet.
As to HRO... go there on any given Saturday and you'll find;
a bunch of gray thinning haired, pot bellied old geezers leaning on
pickup trucks bristling with antennas talking about cryptic topics in
braggadocio tones, and don't forget, the powdered sugar dust on their
tee shirts from eating all the freebie donuts over by the coffee pot.


I'm bald and lost my gut. I have a crossover SUV and have never wanted
to rag chew (neither face to face nor on the radio). I go to lurk look
at stuff that I end up buying HamCity dot com (on Sepulveda-but I get it
UPS one day ground. HamCity has good prices. I have never been to
their store front.

San Diego has a lot of electronics stuff.

My Brickwall Surge Suppressor was made in San Diego.Guaranteed NOT to
fail.

Yes, and superb burritos, too! (Am particularly fond of Santana's but I
reside in the metro DC area. Damn.) Sincerely,

We eat regular American food around here.I see quite a few foreign style
restaurants listed in my phone book.

Crechale's Restaurant on Highway 80, about two miles East behind doggy's
couch, is over fifty years old, the restaurant is famous for the best
steaks and seafood in the World.It is an old restaurant and doesn't look
like much on the outside, but the food is Great.They still have that old
neon Crechale's sign too.
