[Boatanchors] WRL Globe 680 Saga End

[Radios R. Me]

I saw a guy selling two Rangers at a chilly midwinter ham swapfest in Pittsburg 
around 1990
at 6:30 a.m. on an ICY parking lot, for $50 each. He also had a couple of Viking 
IIs and a 

Valiant I for a little bit more money each - like maybe $100 - 125, I think.

Our vehicle was stacked from floor to ceiling with boys, suit cases and ice 
hockey equipment
or I would have brought them ALL home!

Today, joined a ragchew roundtable on 40M AM (7.160) using the Globe Scout.  
Everyone pronounced the audio FB, I was pushing about 30 watts to an 88' 
doublet.  Two in the group had owned Scouts and missed them. 


I never owned one, don't recall knowing anyone who did, even as a Novice in the 
early 60s.  Bought  this used one because they evidently were quite popular in 
their day.  My last AM QSO was in 1979 with a Viking Ranger, boy did I screw up 
selling that rig for $50 in 1980, they seem to go for ten times that now.
