[Milsurplus] Building and restoring stuff

[Gene Smar]

If you haven't read 200 Meters and Down, shame!  It's like being an American
citizen and not knowing the history of the Revolutionary War.  We all should
want to know whence we came.

"...there is no "break even point".  You build stuff because you like to
build stuff.  If you are only interested in operating, then buy an appliance
and operate it.  Don't waste you time and money on building..."

In the book '200 Meters and Down', is a wonderful observation about many of
us.  We are fascinated with radio.  I think all of the milsurp crowd, and
most who enjoy vintage gear still like the radio part.  It seems that radio
to many others is just a box, like a router, something you hook ancillary
devices too so you can type or talk.  The art and fascination of radio is no
more deep than the on/off switch.
