[MilCom] Greetings to All/ Long

[RICHARD L. KRAMER]

Welcome to milcom Scott;

Interesting story. I'm a Techy ham, N3VMY, and have been listening since 
1970. There are a really great bunch of very knowledgeable people on this 
list. I don't get to post as often as I would like because of job/family 
issues; but I post as often as I can. I have 22 radios in my radio room, the 
oldest a Radio Shack Patrolman Pro 2 VHF HI/LO tuneable with an am/fm switch 
and one x-tal position for each band; two Patrolman Pro 2B's which did away 
with the am/fm switch and added an extra x-tal position for each band; 
Lafayette PF300 VHF HI/LO/UHF tuneable with two x-tal positions for each 
band; for HF an FRG-7 Yaesu rx. Newer stuff, Yaesu FT100D multi mode, multi 
band transceiver; RS Pro 97, 162, three AR8000's, two BCD 396T's with all 
the upgrades to name a few. Antennas are; three discones, AR270B VHF/UHF, 
AR6 6mtr, VHF air band GP, three long wire HF antennas, 13 element VHF beam, 
4 element 220 beam, 4 element 440 beam, and several military VHF/UHF 
discones and GP's, one UHF C130 a/c antenna.

I subscribe to two radio magazines; Popular Communications,
