[ARC5] RE: ARC5 Digest, Vol 60, Issue 9

[Tom Bridgers]

All,
Well I didn't see the young kid, but I did see Marty at the Shelby Hamfest about 10 years ago
with a bC-454 and a skateboard, telling all who would listen, that it was his Command Set Mobile!  
Maybe the skateboard had a "whip antenna" too.  My memory is a little blurry 10 years later...
It was at that point that I realized that Marty is a lot more creative than most people I know!!
73's,
-tom
