[Johnson] New Owner!I

[Peter Markavage]

I would suggest using the reflector search engine for Ranger info. Go to
http://www.w9wze.org/ and go to the bottom of the page and click on
"Search QTH.net lists. Highlight "Johnson" and put Ranger as your key
word. A bunch of great info will pop up on past discussions. For
additional info, return to the main search screen and highlight
"boatanchors" and put Ranger as your key word. Another batch of great
discussion info will pop up. You should be able to gather a wealth of
info from this activity. This saves a lot of discussion repetition.

Additional questions or issues can then be discussed on stuff not
addressed in these archives.
