The last I knew, "E & S" was named "K & E." I agree it is
not "much of a ham store" but Oklahoma City hams have never
been known much for supporting a local "ham store."
The history is that they would hang out, drink the free
coffee, try out the gear, call an 800 number when it came
time to buy, then bitch forever when the local store closed.
I know from the personal experience of having worked at one
of them in the early 1980s.
I have attached a list of Oklahoma Radio Resources contained
in the weekly swapnet list published and distributed by Johnny,
KM5GM here in Oklahoma City. The list of VE exams from that
list is also included for your information. To add items to
the list or add VE test information, please email Johnny, KM5GM
directly.
