[Milsurplus] BC-669

[don davis]

This reminds me that I bought a complete rx/tx/mic/cables/key/generator/etc.
for some Chinese set (don't recall which model) from Red Star some years
ago.  It's around here in original boxes unopened - another project for
another day...

Mike, that's the way i felt. I didn't know of any of his ups and downs of
his battle. Some time back someone pointed to some of Ken's good stuff being
on Ebay. I think that at that time he was ill and was downsizing due to
that. But very few except in his social circle knew that. Prostate cancer.
Some of the Northwest AM gang were close to him and know the full story,
helping him, i think, downsize.
I'd like to know more. Maybe someday i will. I think he deserved an obituary
article  in ER at least. I also would have liked to have known more about
the microwave something business he ran in Bend, Oregon. Ken also knew quite
a few interesting tidbits about Red Star Radio ( Canada ), having talked
with the owner and i think, maybe having done deals with him.  I think i
recall Ken telling me the Red Star owner got the radios as almost just price
for filler for containers of other import material which was really in his
main line of business. ( That might be, as Geoff sent me a photo of an alley
in China strewn with crated 222 receivers in all states, NIB, N in broken up
box, broken up N in broken up B, anything. ) -H M
