[Boatanchors] Radio Shack

[Bob Wilder]

Have been reading this thread with interest.  I think the beginning of the 
end of the "ham Radio" store started when the FCC dropped the requirements 
of drawing and labeling a schematic of a simple CW transmitter, for  the 
Class B ticket and the same with audio  for the Class S ticket. Most of the 
rigs on the market were to expensive for all of us.  We could only afford 
to build our own rigs The next step was the WW2 surplus  cheap 
receivers.  WE came full circle back to the 75A, 32V, WRL, with equipment 
for the eager young ham costing too much, interest began to fall.
I guess what I trying to say is we bought on our selves.
