Are there any "Benton Harbor Lunch Boxes" still on the air? Maybe 'way 
out in the boonies where there are no repeaters, someone is using them 
for a local intercom net.

I never owned or used one, but when I was a teenager getting my start in 
amateur radio I thought they were a neat idea, and people had a lot of 
fun with them.
