[GreenKeys] Radio Shack Parts

[Dave Mayfield W9WRL]

I gave up on RS many years ago, the junk parts, the people that work 
there with no knowledge, all adds up to take your business someplace 
else. the last few times I did go there, I would walk into the store the 
person working there would ask "Can I help you" I would reply "I doubt it"

More than once I would tell them what I was looking for and they would 
tell me "we don't carry anything like that" I would grab a catalog off 
there counter and turn to page 69 and point to it, the clerk would say 
"O' what's that for"

That's about the time I stopped going to RS.
