[Milsurplus] RAK RAL

[Bill KA8VIT]

I agree completely.
 
Keeping our two pair of RAL/RAK combinations on the boat operational has gotten to the point where we use them "just enough" now.
 
Our TBL-7 transmitter needs parts that I haven't been able to find in 20+ plus years of looking.

Radio tubes may soon be so. I never paid more than $5 for a factory new 6D6 or 41. Those just do not seem to me to be hard to find ones. Or maybe i have the gift, to find what i need.
