  • A stopover at Fair Radio for some goodies. I remember when they had the wall of R390s. They still have ARC-5s
    Right off the I75
    Tell Paul what you need and give him 20 minutes to go find it in the piles of stuff they have.
    My purchases are classified!

    Ham Radio is a life$$$tyle not a Hobby!
    Take the radio outside and operate from the Field
    Throw a wire in a tree and make a QSO

    wow, I get to see the actual place that I ordered all my strange exotic military radio parts from- I bet the smell of green was definitely in the air of that warehouse, I sure wish I could go there someday and wander through all that historical equipment.

    I've been there 4-5 times, it's a cool place. Sometimes you actually bring the "smell" back with you 😂

    Great, Thanks John, it reminds me of Saul Hersch store on Queen Street, and that other place at Queen and Bathurst that sold the Bren Gun Carriers back in the 1970's

    I still have my pristine AN/URM-25D sig gen I bought from them in the mud 80s. Still works still decent cal on it and built like a brick crap house!
    Also, take a look around and see if you can turn up some of the old HyGain CB boards back in the late 70s. Must have bough 20-30 of them and hot most working on 10m FM!
