[Boatanchors] ART-13 "conversion"

Mon, 22 Mar 2004 18:56:22 -0600

Mahlon,

Don't you DARE gut that ART-13 before you e-mail or talk to Bill N6PY who I
have copied in on this e-mail. No matter how bug eaten or peed on, it
probably can still be brought back to life. You never know how many lives
that that ART-13 might have saved. Please give it some respect before just
desecrating it. I am sure Bill will have some suggestions or will fill out
adoption papers for it.
Thanks
Larry WA9VRH
