Ah, yes....takes me back to....'96? I still occasionally see a deal
with the tag line of 'Rules of Ware apply'. Someone posted a while
back that Larry got out of radio, too bad.
Is John's BA list still up and running at theporch? His "Boatscape"
page was the first thing I saw on the internet, courtesy of an IBMer
friend. Dark background with those 6146 outlines like watermarks.Of
course, back then there were maybe a dozen or two actual boatanchor
pages.
One of the early ones I recall (and 'the' source good National info at
the time) was 'Radio Bay' by a fellow named Neil. Spent many a slow
evening in the ops center reading through that page and the associated
links, which of course spurred my interest. Along with my first
National, the RAO-7, I've since added the NC-81X, FB-7, and NC-240D.
Ten years....where does the time go? That even predates the days of
redheads in Rockton! (o:
Thanks for the bit of Nostalgia, Bob. And keep up the good work, Scott.
