[Milsurplus] What was the ARRL thinking ?

[Hubert Miller]

I do feel different about the Handbook. I generally feel that you can't have too many years of those.
Unfortunately, i have limited space, and am now planning an out of state move, so i can't take on more,
unless they somehow end up in my stuff, not me going out of my way to find them. 
I have a couple from the '20s and i will keep them as long as i last, but can't take on more now, as 
attractive as they are. 
I recall one year actually had a pretty non-destructive use of the Command Sets transmitter, including 
with a nonresonant short wire antenna, but with a quartz control adapter. Looked good ! That plus
a mil surplus receiver, or some basic SW receiver, and you're in business, no winding torroids and 
etching circuit boards or sheet metal work.
