Jim and group...
You've no doubt heard all the arguments of why the "Non-A" speak is
used....It clearly reduces confusion and there is no harm done. Here is
another area where it is done to clarify what is being spoken of....I
repair/restore R-1051's...there were the R1051, the B model the C model the
D model the H model and the G model. But when we speak of the undesignated
R-1051 we designate it the "Plain" It removes all doubt....so does the
"Non" speak as it relates to the 390 series.
It's clear that you have been around long enough that you ought to know
"That when in Rome you should do as the Romans do" meaning I think you are
in the minority on this one....so why not go with the flow...
This whole endeavor is recreational and about a love for the radio....why
try to make it so structured....I get enough of that at my job (yep...I'm
not retired yet)....this should be fun (is)...and the humor we have around
here is mostly fun...until it is mixed with too much attitude!
Respectfully
