[Milsurplus] RAK on HF

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Ken,

I don't have a RAL (at least not yet) but my experience with regens in 
general is similar to yours. You do have to be a "radio operator" but 
that was the style when I got interested in radio and is part of the 
*magic*. I only had to ride the controls (such controls as existed) on 
little toy regen radios designed to fleece parents out of their money to 
get the kid a radio. I lost interest in little toy radios at that point 
but not in regens. Anything intentionally built well performs well (in 
my experience). I like turning the knobs from time to time. I have 
wasted a lot of time trying SDR gear and not nearly the satisfaction. I 
don't want a computer to operate my station and email about how much fun 
I'm having. A regen ain't gonns be doing that!

73,

Bill  KU8H
