[MRCA] Zenith Radio ART-13?

[D. Platt]

Robert,

Truth told, on any particular Saturday morning net, you'll find a number 
of ART-13s and ATCs on the air.  Looking at back logs, we generally have 
3-5 of them on any  net.  A while back, Ted, W3PWW, called in advance 
for any and
  all with ART-13s or ATCs to check-in with them on a given net. We all 
showed up and, as I recall,  we had upwards of 14 of them that morning.  
They do keep soldiering on, don't they?  I currently run one of each.
