[AMRadio] Rinaldo to RETIRE !!!

[Joseph Bento]

And let's not forget the "Doctor is In" column stating the dangers of  
how one must never ever operate a transmitter with tube finals, nor  
purchase vintage equipment.  Beginning hams can't be expected to learn  
how to dip the plate and bring up the load.

Sad.  Really sad.

I enjoyed my Dayton visit immensely.  I am an ARRL member, though I do  
not give them my undivided support.  I did not even step into the ARRL  
realm at Hamvention, though I really did feel like getting my nerve  
together and tell the good doctor what I though about his dissuading  
newcomers from buying vintage equipment.  Encouragement might take  
away advertising dollars,  after all.
