[R-390] 807 Anyone?

[Larry Asp]

I think the  roots are in WW2 coupled with referring to tubes as bottles - 
its only natural that beer followed after that. I dont think I ever met a 
ham who couldnt connect the 807 to a nice cold beer and the fellowship 
around the brew. Ive also heard reference to an "813" - a good drink of rye 
whiskey.
