[Boatanchors] Collins Radio Update

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Price increase? And number two on the sellers standard list of price 
increase excuses - The Bored of Misdirection voted to supplement their 
already bloated salary by using item #8, page 12, paragraph B of Misc. 
Medical Coverage, and adding a fifth week of stress reduction therapy in a 
yet to be named location on, or near the Bikini Islands. I wonder what solar 
radiation factor their drug coverage plan supports? (LOL!)
Just raking the tuning fork of life over your still warm coals Doc! Keep 
those Collins rigs glowing and get on the air one of these weekends and 
properly harrass me!
