[Milsurplus] Fair Radio

[Carl at hughes.net]

Here is a good story about about what can be buried at Fair
I was there droping some stuff to them and  picking up stuff.I was looking 
thru the large antenna rack they had at the old store.I told Phil that I was 
going to clean it up a bit as some things were out of place.While doing this 
I found 8 brand new PRC 70 antenna's.So I told Phil he owed me one on a good 
deal if I told him what they were as he didm't have a clue.Well needles to 
say he was a happy camper when he found out.
Not so much in the new store as they found a lot of stuff and put it away so 
they know where its at
The bunch there is the best andalwaays will be.
