[Boatanchors] Re:Radioshack "catering" to hams...?

[Tony Martin W4FOA]

John,
I don't have a dog in this fight but I think the negative comments we've 
seen here are a reflection of us as an ungrateful nation (U.S.A.). In the 
not too distant past, there are probably very few hams who have not taken 
advantage of the convenience of Radio Shack stores near their homes.

This is the Memorial Day holiday period....let's reflect on those men and 
women who gave their all for us and be thankful and not so quick to be 
negative.  I appreciate their sacrifice that gives me the freedoms I so 
often take for granted.

My Two Cents.

Tony, W4FOA
