[Boatanchors] Re: Vintage Solid-State

[Al Parker]

Hi guys,
    I guess you may have missed the following that was posted abt 3 wks
ago on another BA list by John Brewer, K5MO.  He's a real boatanchor guy,
but is also into some vintage SS gear, as many of have become.  He's
probably busy at work & hasn't seen the latest of this thread yet.
    I might also add, there's a net on Sun., 3PM ET, 14.292+-, of basicly
the boatanchor crowd, but it's called "The Vintage Sideband Net" and has
been since it's inception some 8-10+ yrs ago.  We welcome anyone, tube or
SS, as long as there's an interest in vintage gear.  There are some good,
heavy, old, SS rigs, some are hybrid, some not.
    There's been very little traffic on the VSS list since John started it
up.  Lets get some activity there?
73,
Al, W8UT
New Bern, NC
