[R-390] Broke 390

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

My Friends,

As pointed out by a few, I could have just waited
till someone asked for an item, and then contacted
them ...but I wouldn't have all this nice mail to
answer, and all the fine comments and remembrances,..

The knob is gone...The meter almost so.. 'tho I still
have the extra tube tester...brought from the source
on Sat...cost $8...who needs it..(Eico, I believe 667)
Must be painted, but works fine..Have a few other
small parts I will mention after I check them...Free
to good home AND NEED....

Also the scanner, who wants it?  Cost me $5.. Its an
older Regency..works fine...Still have a Konel trans.
in terrible cond.. will have to throw out soon..You
see, my wife thinks I was dropped on my head a few
too many times in my babyiage..(Could be, for that
matter), and she can't see my keeping the old junk
when we must simplify life in order to go on..(She
doesn't complain about her junk however..,. funny
that...)

Thanks to a few asking again for info on SSB the old
way, and about harmonic considerations..I will prepare
something on this and put it on the reflector when I
have time..It is of historical interest, at least...I
also want to again thank those prior mil. who wrote..
I lost a few addresses, but will try again to get
together a group of vets interested in communications 
and mil. ops. I still have mail from many of you
detailing your training, in particular on the 390
series, and on heavy trans. equip. as well. I believe 
such material is of prime importance to this list, and
I thank those who have given your experiences. If any
who have not contacted me are out there, feel free to
do so... I love reading such material..I will  also
try to get something together on field probs and comm.
for battalion and Regimental groupings..I used to have
some, but can't find it..A few were interested..

I do wonder if others are around...I know, for myself,
I take off on a tangent, and get lost for a while, but
I come back...Where are some others, 3,4,5 years ago
and more...Jerry, Paul and others...Chuck..Bill..They
may pop up at any time, I suppose..

You see, I have prob. a thousand or more pages run
off.
I lay in bed reading the old material, and threads..
(I used to do this long before I joined the
reflector.)
There is so much there of interest, and so many of
the people we no longer hear from..are they Silent
Keys?? for some we will never know...(I know one I was
wondering about ..Ron, are you out there??)


In the meantime, I want to thank you all for your 
thoughtfulness..Argent memories prevail, and I hear
my friends who are gone, in full carillon calling
by way of the 390 and its' child...And yet the true
suzerainty of the 390 remains...and so it will be...

My Best Regards, 

John
