nobody gives any specail respect to a swl but they do respect a
licnesed ham in the radio stores. you can even get unadvterised
discounts if you show your licnese so a ham ticket means moeny saved.
I say you moslty dont know enough and thatsw hy you stay a loser swl
or cb opreator. Happy 4th losers!

Hate to tell you this, dude, but a lot of places don't even know what a real
ham is, either. I have to go all the way to Wisconsin to go to a real
radio store anymore. Back in the 60's we had Olson, Radio Shack and we
could order from Burstein Appleby by mail. I was only a kid back then. And
Radio Shack had real radio stuff.

BTW, did you know that the Twin Towers and the other buildings were built
over the old Radio Row neighborhood in New York?
