[R-390] Hi

Fri, 6 Jun 2003 16:37:37 -0400

New guy, I wish. Been a amateur radio operator for 30 yrs. Started out as
WN4WYO, moved around, keep changing call signs, now kf4tun. Used my first
390 a bit over 40 years ago. Had a couple assignment where we did our own
repairs.  Got to know the 390 and 390A fairly well.
Own both a 390 and a 390A.
The only real problem I have is BS, and thats what this "non" business is .
If you own a model T Ford, does that make all other Fords made non-A fords.
If you have a 390, just state it. I bet everyone on this list will know what
your are talking about and you won't sound kind of goofy. Are the non
speaker using new-speak or just trying to be politically correct?  The same
is true of the 390A.
If my comments and that making light of the "non-A" types offends them, it
should be noted that I am not sorry. When you say something, say it, be
proud of who you are and what you own, use, needs parts for, want to sell,
need help adjusting, ect., ect....
