[Boatanchors] BC-669 Project Complete - Happy Skipper

[David Stinson]

Note:  Need to clear-up my misunderstanding.  Myron was not Navy 
himself- he skippered tugs in support of Navy operations for 30 years, 
serving many ships you would recognize. He has some cool photos. The 
term "vet" was my misunderstanding, not his claim. Now, with that said, 
I still count his as honourable service worthy of recognition and many 
people agree.   It takes everyone's shoulder-to-the-wheel to make the 
(battle)wagons go.

The project to provide a BC-669 to a retired tugboat skipper who used 
them on many tugs is complete.  W6TUG used BC-669 on most of the tugs he 
served.  When he was a boy, his father had one on his fishing boat.  He 
has great memories and always wanted one since he was a kid.  Myron is 
delighted to have the rig and would like to send his many thanks to 
everyone who contributed parts and suggestions to the project.  Looking 
forward to hearing him on 3665, 3880, 3885 and 3890.  Still need 
transmit crystals for 1885 and 1985- they will surface sooner or later.
You done good, fellas.  Give yourselves a gold star. :-)

Cleared the bench, ready for final check-out of Anthony Quinn's kind 
gift of RAL/RAK rigs
before they ship-out to the U.S.S. Wisconsin.  Then we'll tackle the GO-9.
