[ARC5] ARC-27

[Hubert Miller]

Winter of '95 - '96 i spent in Omaha Nebraska. I went one day over the river to Council Bluffs IA.
There was some kind of shop there that sold 'classic ham radios'. They had radios alright, but nothing
like i really liked, and the prices were, i thought, real retail. I didn't think there would be much of a 
market for these things. ( I still wonder if there ever was a high point, as the appreciative audience for 
such gear seems to be decreasing. ) Anyway i must have seen an ARC-27 there, and the owner fellow 
told me he had a supply of more. Now, that was a radio i knew would not sell. With the quoted here 
numbers manufactured, there is a massive oversupply compared to the few who would actually want 
one. I suppose like the masses of vacuum tube VHF aircraft radios, they mostly went to scrap.
