[GreenKeys] OT the end of radio shack

[Lester Veenstra]

But the RS we used to know and love was an industrial operation on
Commonwealth Ave, before Tandy bought them out.

Sadly RS has not been much of a 'player' in the hobby electronics

market for decades. What is interesting is to look at QST's from 1946

and later which shows how RS started out. Selling surplus parts and

equipment to hobbyists. Also more telling is that Fair Radio is still
around.
