[R-390] back from FROSTFEST and a funny story..

[Dave Mayfield W9WRL]

Jeff, That's a great story. You're not nuts, You are asking the going 
rate more or less. If I had these I would ask the same.

The guy who thought he was going to buy them for $10.00 is way out of 
touch on what they are worth.

Any guy who would pay $400. or $500 that's they guy who is nuts.
